Why the answer is No. Many people find young wild animals and decide they would like to keep them as a pet.
Young animals are cute and apparently harmless, and they often appear to be tame.
But - as most people discover, wild animals are unpredictable, often very destructive, and usually end up a danger to all humans they come in contact with. No 1.Young animals may seem tame but may become very aggressive and unpredictable as they get older. 2.Captivity is not natural and is a constant stress to a wild animal. The answer to this question is very simple - the animals are wild, they are not pets. Wild animals belong in their natural habitat where their needs are met.
