I do, and why are you "domesticating" what role are the animals you are trying to "domesticate" will fulfill other than looking pretty and making you feel good?
Are they gonna be a food source? Produce some sort of renewable resource? Help people hunt wild mammoths?
Domestication is supposed to have a specific purpose for the species, not to make "company animals" or "pets".
People started breeding ferrets cause they helped catching rabbits, chickens because we could eat them and silk moths cause they squirt fabrics.
You want to "domesticate" because YOU think it's cool to keep those animals and you don't care about the implications of it.
The animals humanity domesticated always had a job in mind.
The only fucking animal I can think of that was domesticated cause it looked pretty was the peacock but even so people sill ate the shit out of those birds back then, is just that they are less practical to keep as food, chickens are easier.
Never said there wasn't a reason beyond an animal 'lookin cool' for domesticating it, but thanks for the insinuation. There are countless animals that could be useful to us, and I'm including insects in animals as is common, for countless reasons that aren't ancient, as I am sure you know, but it seems like you'd prefer to just ignore in the modern day to paint as selfish without a cause. I simply do not agree that we as a species should be blocked from this in the future, especially concerning getting off planet. Most current farm animals simply will not work for this.
Don't take this as me saying that we should be trying to do this with any species. I've already stated my distaste for reptile breeders that keep 'hots', and it's just outright generally pointless.
Free reign? No, people are retarded.
Cats get declawed
Dogs are the most abused animal on the planet + people get breeds they can't handle. (who remembers the fat people can't have dogs war that booggie started here on the farms lol)
Good luck keeping a pet cow.
So yeah I don't think the average young scholar should be able to get a shitbull, having a pet because YOU want a company animal, and you want to take everywhere and it's OK and no one can't say NO to you is how you get service-animal nutcases, people who share a lot of traits with exotic animal hobbits.
I wonder if it has ever overlapped? Someone putting a service animal vest on a burmese python is something so stupid I think it has been done.
How did I know you were going this direction? What is your idea of a perfect system that would stop people from doing bad things to animals, or simply getting ones that they cannot care for? Is your solution not to stop this, but to simply never allow humans to dare sully an undomesticated species again? I don't like that these things happen, but I simply do not understand what you believe can be done to end animal abuse as a concept. Charge people when it can be proven to have occurred, but a cold turkey preventative in blocking access to animals is insane.
There's hundreds to thousands of years of artificial selection.
The gap between 'domestic' and 'wild' when considering when an imported species becomes a massive problem when a breeding population establishes is pretty small, cats begin fucking shit up when they're simply let outside, the difference between a wild species and the ones we've bred for thousands of years differs little in this case, talking small cats. This point in this argument concerning my greater idea is kind of moot to me now if you're really of the side ala PETA in that, for non farm cases, no joe schmoe should be able to even have a dog without the proper loicense, but I'll conclude anyways. Yes, the behavior and physiology of a domesticated animal can be massively different from it's wild counterpart, but the actual damage that an escaped population can cause ends up pretty similar in most cases, especially if they can't be eradicated which is mostly how it goes unfortunately.
Slippery slope fearmongering based on retards who've ran into trouble by raising chickens in an extremely urban environment. If you're okay with a rooster waking you up at 4 AM that's nice, but don't think everyone else in your neighborhood or even apartment complex won't put a noise complaint.
Yes, sure, that is the only way that current western governments have been attempting to restrict attempts to become self sufficient. This also applies to rural farms. Someone owning cattle in the urban jungle is fucking stupid, but it should be easily taken care of when someone is stupid enough to try. Slippery slopes have an end point, and regulators will always overstep when they are allowed, and nobody ever stops them so yes they are.
To directly point out the quote of yours you seem to really strongly support there at the end - no I do not agree, and I think acting like humans are not a part of nature is ridiculous, and or if you're saying we are, but we shouldn't be interacting with the other animals on our planet. I am not blackpilled to the point where I think we should restrict our own freedoms to such extremes. We should make the abuse and neglect of animals a more extreme crime, and make it very difficult for random retards to move whichever creature they want all over the world, doing damage to it in the process.
Trying to stop the trade of truly dangerous animals is also wise, but difficult to approach.
