Bonefall, what about wild cats? Like servals, ocelots, water cats.ect? How does your worldbuilding effect them? People own them as exotic pets, so it would be possible for them to learn townmew and maybe clanmew as well-

Personally I will be ruling No in my own rewrite. Chimpanzees can't speak no matter how hard we try to force them (the sign language thing is baloney) so why would humans keeping exotic felines allow them to speak Townmew?

It's deeply unethical to both own exotic pets, and to attempt crossing them with domestic counterparts. I won't write legitimacy of that practice into the BFRW by saying those solitary animals are perfectly capable of acquiring and speaking language, and can happily join a Clan

They aren't domestic pets. They are wild animals. They should be in an accredited zoo, well-funded sanctuary, or back in their natural habitat.

They don't naturally have a concept of society, or of language like cats in this area do. If a hybrid joined a Clan, then it's capable of some language, but should be treated as half-man, half-gorilla.

#I'm pretty sure it's illegal in this part of England to do that #Own exotic predators I mean #OH BUT remember that like.. I am not You lmao this is my opinions #If you're gonna Rule of Cool it then go ahead #But I'm not a fan of it so I will not be doing it #If Lynxes ever showed up they would not speak #If the Erins ever write a hybrid into the story btw I will be making that character incapable of speaking #But knowing them they would write it as a villain anyway :/ #Which preemptively ill say No that would Not stay #It would end up joining SkyClan probably #And theyd be like 'humans can be such monsters' #Bone Babble #Exotic Pets Bad

The range of what is considered an exotic pet is actually wild. Because it goes from animals like bird, reptile, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, ferrets ect. Pretty normal pets to own. All the way to wolves, lions, tigers and monkeys.

It really is insane. I'm apparently an exotic pet owner because my family has a guinea pig. I also want to own rabbits and a bird one day. We got our guinea pigs from a rescue. We've owned 4 of them and so far 3 have died of old age. One we owned might have been twice the average life span of a guinea pig. We don't know because she was an adult when we got her

#exotic pets #pets #My dad literally used to own snakes and had a ferrit #one of his snakes he was gifted by his fencing students on an actual plane #they handed him a box with a baby boa constrictor in it after his first one died #guinea pig #rabbit #snakes #reptiles #ferrets

Namesake: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sindri_(mythology)

I don’t usually share much information on in-progress characters and this is why, it all sounds insane and I might never do anything more with it. But I have some festive WIPs of the winter version of the character and I thought maybe I would try posting the character sheet/concept art first instead of just dumping some illustrations and saying nothing about what’s supposed to be going on.

#long post #I named the character the day before I found out the mythological Sindri has a big role in a big video game that just came out #I swear I did my own research in cribbing things from mythology and did not swipe from the game #i thought it would be a name dwarves would think was cute for their illegally adopted exotic pet #I don't have that many ideas and I like monochrome and hair covering one eye

[livingthedragonlife]

all landlords and real estate agencies should blow up for regulating what kind of fucking pet i am allowed to own

#she speaks #my landlord was okay with me getting a snake but he's subletting. and the company that owns the building doesn't allow exotic pets at all #so like. fuck me i guess.

Started work on Kerosene's new background:}

I'm building it in segments so I can do most of it outside the tank and not have to relocate him for too long since it's just going in his current enclosure.

The Daily Coyote: A Story of Love, Survival, and Trust in the Wilds of Wyoming, by Shreve Stockton, 2008

I originally read most of the way through this book at my college library and then bought it at my local thrift store recently. I do not like this book honestly, and originally threw it down when the author resorted to using Cesar Millan's advice/methods on her wild born pet coyote. It aggravates me in numerous ways, in the way I expected a book from someone who got a surprise wild born coyote puppy as a pet to. Nonetheless, I have a copy so I was able to finally finish it, and have it on hand to reference. I want every single coyote book I can possibly get my hands on, including the ones I dislike.

#my library #the daily coyote #shreve stockton #2008 #2000s #coyote book #coyote #exotic pet #fwiw im not fully against owning coyotes #and i would 1000% take a wild born coyote myself lmao #but the situation here is. grating. in very predictable ways. #insert rant about coyotes not being good pets for most people and being prepared and blah blah blah

[savedgame]

i think it’s also cause owning an exotic pet is only for you and never for the good of the animal unless you saved it from a roadside carnival or something

#imo the only exotic pet you could ethically own might be a shark if you are just rich and have a big aquarium

[garlicowboy]

i HATE the pet industry. i HATE the commodification of living things and exotic animals for a profit. i HATE “monkeys are so cute i want one!”. i HATE the selfishness and greed that lies behind seeing a cute non-domestic animal and deciding you have to own it instead of just allowing it to live its life in the wild and learning to appreciate it from afar. i HATE this I Want It So Im Having It mentality over literal wild animals!!!! i don’t CARE if you want a pet fox i don’t CARE if you want a pet monkey or a baby alligator or a meerkat OR A CAPYBARA. let wild animals be wild animals!!!! not every creature needs to be domesticated!!! they have worth and can be appreciated without being owned and sold for a profit!!!!!!!!

#AAAAAAAAGGTGHHHHHHH #WE LIVE IN THE UNITED KINGDOM YOU DONT NEED A PET CAPYBARA. OR MONKEY. OR MEERKAT. THEY DONT BELONG IN YOUR SHITTY FLAT NEXT DOOR TO TESCOS #sorry ive only just discovered that you can own exotic animals as pets with a permit in the uk and its been making my blood boil #mine #txt

Call me a pessimist, but I don't think we will ever be able to return axolotls to their natural range. As far as I am aware, there are no axolotls left in the wild.

They are native to this one place, the lakes of Texcoco, and Xochimilco, here in Mexico. Now, most of these lakes were drained when the Spanish colonized Tenochtitlan and founded Mexico City, which is why the city floods so horribly. There should be lakes there. What *is* left of the lakes is very contaminated because of city activity.

While there have been many conservation efforts, as long as Mexico City is there I doubt the wild axolotl population will ever recover, or be able to exist independently from human intervention. There is a common misconception about pet axolotls being taken away from the wild, which is completely baseless. While a lot of exotic pets (mammals and birds) are in fact taken from the wild, reptiles and amphibians are more likely not. Axolotls have a long history of being bred in captivity, and lab and pet axolotls are the only reason the species still exist.

Owning an axolotls is akin to owning other fresh water fish, in the sense that it *is* very tricky, but by no means impossible for your average person (assuming they have money for pets at all, that is). I wouldn't recommend getting an exotic species without doing the proper research, and this is not me saying you should get one. But it makes me sad when people say owning axolotls as pets is somehow immoral or animal abuse. It can be, if you are a shitty owner, but that is true for any animal.

These are not monkeys. These are not parrots, or wild cats or canids, or non-ferret mustelids. They are not being taken from the wild to be sold as pets, for fucks sake, they are pink and neon green.

And there is plenty of research on how to properly care for these animals! Because we have been doing so for decades! It is alright to have one. I promise.

#im still bitter about that discussion I had MONTHS ago with a big 'is the animal video cute“ blog #like. i fully respect them 90% of the time but their take on captive axolotls was so shitty and uninformed i had to unfollow #and i dont even own an axolotl or any exotic pet. i have cats. #its not me trying to justify owning exotics because I DONT GOT ANY. #but i do got biologist friends. i have done my research because i have the big autistic #and saying 'the axolotl pet trade is inmoral' is the worst fucking take ive ever seen #and i say it as a person that thinks that a lot of the pet trade in general is rotten and irresponsible #and should be regulated #but come ON man. out of all exotic pets axolotls are the least problematic. Pugs and bulldogs have it much worse and they arent even exotic

People should be less afraid of insects and spiders and be more afraid of undomesticated mammals

#'eeeek a spider in the corner minding its own business and killing pests and also clearly not a venomous species 🙀 kill it! kill it!' #*10 minutes later* #'omg look at this instagram video of this guys pet lion 😻 thats so cuuuuuute i want one! i should get an exotic pet license!' #this is not abput anyone specific but cmon u know ur being silly #when you freak out about a fucking wolf spider that is 15 feet away from you and will do its best to avoid you and also will eat pests #and then genuinely consider doing paper work to invite an apex predator who could kill you easily into ur house
