Pandas are so cute.

Animal as a pet? Easy: Any big cat, wolf/dog, and a dragon. Maybe a ferret. But those are perfect.

Tomten 02-04-2009 09:02 PM

well, a Human! does they count as animals?
otherwise a big big dragon :D

jecynecy 02-04-2009 09:03 PM

Sure why not. At least some would.....:ninja:

NatalChan 02-04-2009 09:06 PM

A fox ^^ I find these such beautiful animals >w<
Though those are not very the pet type(sad enough)

jecynecy 02-04-2009 09:08 PM

They could be if you wanted them to.

Siri 02-04-2009 09:15 PM

I'd love a large cat, like a tiger or a mountain lion. x3
I'll just settle for my two domestic kitties though. xD;;

That being said, I realize that wild species should never be kept as pets. Jecynecy, I think you should mention in your first post that keeping wildlife as pets is bad idea and illegal in many countries. I know this thread is just for fun, but it'd probably be a good thing to put as a disclaimer, just in case someone who reads this thread gets any funny ideas. (Like that tattoo guy you mentioned in your first post that kept the two tigers in Chicago... he could get some heavy fines and maybe even a prison sentence for that... and that's not to mention the poor quality of life that those animals must have...)

And sorry, I don't mean to ruin the fun. I know this is just a hypothetical what-if thread. It's just one of my pet peeves when people decide to keep wild animals in their homes. >.<

Thank you for the input Pixore. I will just quote this in the first post. About the guy in Chicago though he had a special permit for them.

Siri 02-04-2009 09:33 PM

Okay, thanks. It means a lot to me. :3

I volunteer at a humane society at school and I'm really active when it comes to animal issues. I'm not a crazy PETA person (quite the contrary... what they're doing isn't helping anyone), but I also think it's important to get these kind of facts out there. We had some kid that kept a baby mountain lion in their dorm many years ago! D:

Sometimes I just don't know what people are thinking. It's horrible... like the people that throw baby alligators and crocodiles into the sewers once they get bigger. And then some of those same people think they can just turn those animals over to an animal shelter... which is insane! Shelters are not backed by the government and receive all their money through donations and rely on volunteers to keep running. None of them are equipped to house exotic animals... most can't even take birds or rabbits. Wild animals can't just be let back into their native habitats... they'd never survive and are unfortunately euthanized in most cases. T___T

Anyway, I've gotten off topic. Thanks for adding a note to your first post. :D

jecynecy 02-04-2009 09:40 PM

No problem Pix.

♥Lane 02-04-2009 09:52 PM

Well~ Speaking of reality, I think I would enjoy owning a small snake.
>w< A friend of mine had one, and it was really cool.
I loved playing with it, such a cutieeee~

If I could have anything, though, anything~~
Dragon, yesyesyes~~~ owo
*pretends they're real* =w=


Supreme Commander Gavrila 02-04-2009 10:28 PM

If I could have any animal I want for a pet ...? :/
Well, that's pretty tough considering that my two fave animals are toads and slugs, but I think if I could choose anything exotic I'd choose one out of these:

The Star-Nose Mole.
I think these are so cute! 8D
The perfect mix of adorable and terrifying mixed together!

The Long Eared Jerboa.

And a Tarsier.
These things are so loving and cute, not to mention nocturnal. 8D

Angora Rabbit

And you can't turn down *cough*mudkipz*cough* Axolotls.

...
but one animal I would never want, let alone see, would be the Coconut Crab.
Giant crabs that enjoy spending their time cracking open coconuts and garbage cans.

Siri 02-04-2009 10:31 PM

Those are all so cute! x3
I especially like the angora rabbit and the jerboa.

That mudkip Axolotls is really cute too.

Shizuko 02-04-2009 10:58 PM

I'd want a Flying squirrel. I was chatting with someone who had one once. Oh the cuteness. >w<

jecynecy 02-05-2009 01:10 AM

http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/i...a2b1fecaea.jpgMy Siberian. Sorry it's kinda big I can't make it smaller

Mellie_AngelRose 02-05-2009 01:21 AM

I would want cats. Lots of them. Yay. And panthers. They are so beautiful wovles too.

jecynecy 02-06-2009 06:48 PM

We see a lot of people around here that put puppies in the paper that they say are husky/wolf mixes.

Rumpus Ruu 02-06-2009 10:55 PM

Am I limited to existing animals? For any of you who know of the manga group named CLAMP. We all know two twin animals one white and one black called Mokona. I would love to have those two. I'd never get bored of the alcoholic drinking Black Mokona and the white Mokona could make up nick names for my friends. They also would make good plushies.

As for existing animals I would definitely want a fennec fox. They are the cutest little things but are very difficult to take care of when it comes to their dietary needs. And they are nocturnal animals so I wouldn't be able to play with them as often. So that would be my dream pet.

evea-maslov 02-06-2009 11:31 PM

I'd want an elephant! They're my favorite animal.

Cari Lou 02-07-2009 01:03 AM

I would love to have... a Unicorn!
I've always been obsessed over those mythical creatures since I my eyes laid on them. Plus- my dad really liked unicorns and one of the memories I had of him from when we were on 'good terms' was a night where we slept in his bed and he told me all the stories behind the unicorn statues and pictures that he had collected.

LolaPearl 02-09-2009 05:04 AM

Dragon!
 
I would have to say a dragon. And not just a lap-dragon, but a dragon at least the size of a horse, if not larger. I would have to raise this dragon from birth, of course, so that it would know me and defend me as its mother.

I would prefer a purple and blue dragon with green and gold accents. :)

Bartuc 02-09-2009 05:19 AM

I would want a monkey. Since my roommate in washington wouldnt let me get one.. bitch T_T

jecynecy 02-09-2009 04:28 PM

What kind of monkey?

Meta Kezzie 02-09-2009 04:37 PM

Any animal for a pet? Wow...
While it doesn't seem adventurous, i would absolutely LOVE a hedgehog, of any breed. <3 They are so adoreable, and spikey, and make such cute grunting noises. and *squee*
I also wouldn't mind a Komodo Dragon to be honest... Those things are awsome.
And Triops. <3 They're adoreable.

Kitzana 02-09-2009 06:07 PM

I adore dolphins! Hard to keep as a pet but aren't they cool! And sea turtles are my next favorite animal from the ocean.

Land animals that I like include, horses, all cat species, all dog / wolf species, and everything furry :)
