Taming wild animals is a complex process that varies significantly based on the species and individual temperament. Young animals are generally easier to tame, as they are more adaptable and less fearful of humans. Techniques for taming include using food rewards, patience, and allowing the animal to approach on its own terms. However, there are ethical concerns regarding the capture and confinement of wild animals, with many arguing that it is detrimental to their well-being. The discussion highlights the distinction between taming and domestication, emphasizing that tame animals may still retain wild instincts and can be unpredictable. Capturing wild animals for personal enjoyment is often criticized, with advocates urging for humane treatment and rehabilitation instead. The conversation also touches on the need for proper permits when keeping exotic animals, underscoring the legal and ethical responsibilities involved in animal care.

Drew I completely agree with you cause I have been catching and taming mostly babies and juveniles and rarely adults of native species such as Sqiurrels, rabbits, geese, crows, gulls, robin, chipmunks, raccoons, skunks, cats, bears, coyotes, foxes, mountain lions, bears, frogs, sparrows , etc. as well as animals from other places of the world but babies ofc like tigers, leopards, lions , chimps, capuchins, and wild caught parrots and macaques it is possible over time and only an animal lover can understand animals especially these days were ppl steretype pitbulls but they are actually being abused and tortured by owners or fighters and people kill animals for fun and various ****. there is this documentary of animal abuse and it made me cry and this youtube video of chinese fur farms and raccoon dogs and skinning them alive like wat did animals ever do to us tht these pussies have to torture them
