Ive been thinking for a while now that i want a pet but not sure what i want cause most people have a cat,dog or something common like that. Which brings me to the idea of having a tamed wild animal as a pet. I would love to have a lion as a pet it would be amazing to have such a majestic creature :) Though i can imagine the food bill for a lion would be very expensive! lol ;)

I would not want a wild animal in my house even if they where tamed, Just because of the fact that they are wild and wild animals always go back to being wild. It is said that you can not take the wild out of an wild animal at some point they will go back to being wild and I would not want to be around when that happens. I saw a show where a man had a tamed lion as a house whole pet and one day his friends came over to see the lion, well let just say the lion was not in a very good mood and when his friends went to pet the lion the lion took off his head. Mind you the man had this lion when it was just a baby and now it was all grow up. After the loin took off his friends head he went after his owner and try to kill him the cops got there just in time and killed the lion to save the owners life. I think it's a little crazy to have a wild animal as a pet I just stick with fish they can't hurt you in any way.

Um that probally wouldnt work out lol. Im pretty sure that lions would hurt you sure there cute as babies but when they get older theyll probally be very hard to take care off. And not to mention they can ruin your whole house wich they probally would do.

Having a lion as pet is not a wrong idea nutil it does not harm others!. No body will come to our house if we have a board outside which would say " Beware of lion!"

There is a reason why most people have dogs, cats, etc. There is no such thing as a "tame" wild animal. I have worked with animals including wild animals for most of my life. They are never completely tame and can never be truly trusted. Wild animals, in my opinion, have no role as pets.
