Would you ever pet a wild animal?

Fuck yea. I've wanted a pet fox for as long as I can remember. Apparently there's this place in Russia that has bred foxes for domestication since the 60s or so but it would be like $6,000 to buy one. I swear I'm thinking about trying to trap one since I see them all the time where I live (Colorado) but I guess it would have to be a really young fox so I could raise it and train it and stuff.

No, there are too many stories of people having wild animals and it being fine for years and years until one day the animal gives in to his primal instincts for 5 seconds and takes off a limb.

I have to admit that owning a bear would be pretty freaking awesome.

On a much smaller scale, I had a pet raccoon as a kid. If they could be domesticated they'd be the best pets ever--fun, intelligent, affectionate, playful. She went wild a year later came back one night, and bit me, so I had to get the rabies treatment, but she was a ton of fun. But yeah--don't fool yourself; they'd be wild animals and would probably revert to primal programming at some point.

My cousin in the Yukon tried to get me to pet a wild Buffalo. We got pretty close but fuck that those things are huge.
Craziest story from the Yukon. My cousin and his buddy are fishing on the lake when they spot a big bull moose swimming across. They put their boat up beside the moose and my cousins friends strips down and slips into the water with the moose. He held on to the moose neck hair and lets the moose swim him across the lake. When they got close to the shore he let go and swam back to the boat.
The moose was pissed!
My cousin thought the bull was going to have a heart attack. His eyes were nearly bugging out of his skull.
