If you’ve scrolled through social media feed before, you’ve probably seen videos of people who have wild pets. I’ve seen videos of people who have tried to make pets of skunks, ducks, foxes, racoons, lions, leopards, hyenas, bears, iguanas, pigs, and more. We also have it on good authority that sugar gliders are a delicious treat.

All joking aside, these animals are either dangerous, impractical, destructive, or all of the above. In the quest for virality, is the Internet unwittingly convincing people to approach dangerous wild animals?

I know these animals are adorable, but don’t be ridiculous. Cats and dogs should be enough.
