Some people find keeping wild animals as pets exotic. However, the idea of it is not fully thought out.
Not only would they eventually hurt you or, possibly even others, but it’s also unethical. Spending thousands of dollars for wild animals to keep as pets shouldn’t be allowed.
Research isn’t usually done before the purchase of these animals are made. Tigers are one of the most popular wild animals that are kept as pets. Surprisingly, there are some wild animals you can keep as pets depending on what state you live in.
Some of them include anteaters, tigers, foxes, tarantulas, alligators, kangaroo, llama, cougars, and sometimes, even bears.
An animal being tamed doesn’t necessarily mean its domestic. A domesticated animal has purposely bred to live with humans.
Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) Secretary Rick Siger today announced the approval of five new low-interest loans through the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority (PIDA) to support business expansion and boost the economy in Bucks, Lehigh, Monroe, Perry, and Philadelphia counties.
