    a CNN commentator made a good point about the impossibility of ever truly domesticating a wild animal, no matter how much a person might want it to to be domesticated

    What makes me really ill this animal is in endangered and they are not pets. These are wild but us humans think everything is pet and that is just not right at all.
    Now her friend might be dying because she called her for help that should not have happened because this innocent animal gave her a problem before that to me put that big red flag up a pole for me he needed to taken away from her right away and this would have never happened. But look at who had to pay for this mistake an innocent animal that was under such stress that he had to act out in such away that another person was so badly hurt.
    None of this needed to happen NONE OF THIS and that is a fact.

    MAY GOD BLESS HIS INNOCENT ANIMAL NOW AND FOREVER AS I AM SURE HE WILL!!!
