i was looking at some cute pictures on animals on MSNBC.com and i was just wondering what animals you would adopt if you could adopt any with out the risk of harming them (or you
)or breaking any laws.

i would adopt a Panda bear, and a lion

I would adopt a Lemur, a Bobcat, a skunk, a squirrel, a fox and I'm sure there's more but I can't think of them all! This is all based on that they'd all get along and all be potty trained and such!
I can dream, right?

I would adopt a red-tail hawk
and was actually very interested in becoming a falconer when I was young, but it's a long, difficult row to hoe to become a falconer. You have to be absolutely dedicated to it with no room for anything else but your birds.

I REALLY want a monkey. I've wanted a monkey all throughout my life. LOL! I didnt know there was an option to actually have one.

I hear they go crazy sometimes though, So I'd have to have some serious training. And I dont much think my kitties would appreciate a monkey. lol

I assume this is also supposing I didn't have a husband who would keep me from adopting any more animals. I'd definitely adopt a snow leopard...and maybe a siberian tiger, too. And, realistically, probably any other poor, exotic creature that found it's way to my door. I'm a sucker for a cute face!

I've always wanted a monkey too... I'd love to have some of the big cats, but I think I'd be too afraid they'd eat me to actually love on them....

But like she said... I'd prolly take anything and everything in!!


On a side note... One of my dreams has always been to open a no kill-no limit (on species) sanctuary-rescue!! That'll never happen though...

Probably big cats like a panther or somethin'.


This is assuming it wouldn't be breaking any laws or harming the animal or me, so you exotic cat owners don't go crazy...


Oooh and a baby tiger too. It would be so nice, in the ideal world..to snuggle up with one 'a those big cats just like you do with a housecat

I would like to have a whole bunch of black-footed ferrets. They are so cool! They look like domestic ferts, but are somehow cuter.

And I would have a tiger. They're such beautiful cats. And they have stipes, like Zoe, and I like stripes.
hehe

There was a lady that ran a big cat sancturay up in the Twin Cities & the city she lived in wanted her to get rid of(move) an elderly Tiger because he was dangerous or something. She complained & fought back because Tigers are an endangered species & this Tiger was diabetic. The move would kill him. I haven't heard anything else about it, but at the time I wanted a Tiger. I would have taken that one in a heartbeat.

I also like snow leopards(sp?) because they look sort of like Twitch(where's Rigel-he needs one, too!
). I also want a heyena(sp?) because they are so underappreciated. One of those flying squirrels would be fun, but I can imagine since Macey eats squirrels it wouldn't fare well here.
I want a zebra, wild pony, & a mustang, too.

I told my mom when I was little that I was going to go to the Fruit Loops facotry & steak the Tocan. lol I am eating Fruit Loops right now!

Penguins! There is a (not supposed to link) penguin warehouse dot com you could look up, kinda funny.

Wife has always wanted a goat, for the milk. Unfortunately, living in suburbia, the laws kinda limit our animal choices and number. But a giraffe or two would be rather fun. I could saddle it up and ride it to the mall and back. I wonder how much they'd eat?
