Would you have a wolf as a pet?

Ok basically over on Catsey a couple of people are of the thinking that a wolf as a pet is no different from having a dog as a pet and clearly I can't say anything to make and sense to them so i'm calling for back up.

So basically, would you own a wolf as a pet and why? Or why not? And do you think that having a pet dog is the same as taming a wild wolf from a cub.

No I wouldn't own a wolf as a pet because I don't know how to handle/look after them properly. I am sure that owning and training a dog is miles away from a wolf. Surely a wolf is a wild animal and dogs are domesticated?

Well that's what I thought too, I thought it was just common sense but apparently not!

As much as I'd love one, it would be wrong and is whole different thing from having a domesticated dog as a pet.

As they are cat people, why don't you ask them if they would have a tiger as a pet? Apart from a bigger litter tray surely if a wolf is no different to a dog a tiger is no different to a cat?

No, but I would also love a big cat, a black panther please!!
Its a bit different seeing as the domestic dog has been domesticated over hundreds of years and a wolf hasn't... a cat is less domesticated so maybe a tiger would be easier!!

Cat people, eh? What can you say to people who cuddle animals that wash in their own spit?
