If you live in the USA, then you need to check with your local wildlife agency. Some states let people keep wild animals as pets, but you have to get special certification & prove that the animal will not endanger the local people, & you can properly take care of the animal. It can be very exspensive to get all the things you need to get certefied to own such a pet. Some animals you can't own if they are on the endangered species list too. You just need to do some checking around to find out just who you need to talk to about this & the legal side of things. Hope this helps!

No, you cannot. Lions, tigers, bears foxes - they are all wild animals. You may be able to tame them to a certain extent if you have them from birth, but you will never be able to domesticate them like dogs and cats are domesticated. This takes hundreds of generations to achieve. Anyone who thinks they can keep something like a tiger as pet without losing their life eventually is a fool. You might also want to consider the ethics of keeping a wild animal as pet.

no way. it is cruel to the animal. and against the law in most places. they may be cute and cuddly when small, but remember, they GROW very big. take alot of work and are best left in the wild.

You probaby want to get certified by your state to be a rehabber and see if that is really what you want to do.
Might be easier to adopt about five or six kids that won't take us so much of your time.
