As humans, being on top of the food chain is a very nice thing. However, our insatiable desires has led to many destructive actions and quite a few rehabilitative acts that don't seem to support nature.
One of the many interesting characteristics of humans is that we have plenty insatiable desires. Our wants are so numerous that we can do anything to get them, even if it means going against the natural processes of things.
There is a reason why animals are placed in many different groups and families. Some animals are domestic animals while some are not because of the danger they pose to humans and other animals. Even though humans are top on the food chain, the hunting instincts of these wild animals will always make them try to hunt humans as food.
Some wild animals can actually be domesticated, however, it takes a lot of time, teaching and studying to accomplish the domestication process of wild animals. These animals must willingly show signs of domestication before they can be considered for domestication. There are a lot of characteristics that a wild animal must exhibit willingly (without being taught) to show that they can be domesticated.
Many wild animals can be tamed, but not every animal can be in the list of domestic animals.
As humans, our insatiable desires to assert dominance has landed us into quite a lot of troubles. Our desires has long extended to the aspect of taming a wild animal to the extent of domesticating it. Inarguably, like I mentioned earlier, these wild animals can be tamed, but taming them don't remove their animal instinct, neither does it remove their instinct to hunt. Some of these animals can lot even breed in captivity.
I saw a video one time ago where a lady has a pet python. After living with her for a while, the python stopped eating the food that was giving to it. The owner reported that when she slept, the python will lay close to her and stretch it's body length. (I'm just wondering how someone will be comfortable enough to sleep with a python in their room. Me I can't sleep if a lizard is my window talk more of a python in my room.. lol)
This character that the python exhibited last for a while, until she decides to go to a veterinary hospital. The explained the pythons character to her. They said it's starving itself in preparation of a bigger meal, it's owner. They further said that it's stretching it's length against hers to measure it will be able to swallow her. She was heart broken after the news and had to let go of the python for her own safety.
Personally, I don't really think it's a nice idea to own wild animals at home. There's a reason why they are wild. They are meant to be free, hunt and be hunted, and pass through the diverse challenges of the wild. I don't see it as doing them good if we domesticate them, instead I think we're doing them more harm than good.
It's better to leave this animals in the wild where they belong, or better still, leave them in the zoom. But bringing them to our houses is not an ideal thing..
