Not-So-Cute Companions: Animals That Don't Belong in Your Home We've all seen the adorable pictures: a playful tiger cub cuddling on the couch, a mischievous monkey perched on someone's shoulder. But the truth is, these exotic animals are not cuddly companions – they're wild creatures with instincts that can be dangerous, and keeping them as pets is a bad idea for everyone involved. In this blog, we'll explore some of the reasons why certain animals are not suitable pets, focusing on two main categories: Wild Animals: These creatures have not been domesticated, meaning they haven't been bred in captivity for generations to be comfortable around humans.
