Hello I'm Dennis the mennis I've studied animal welfare at college since 2016. I admire and respect all life and I enjoy interacting with animals as well as reading their body language, in other words I believe in the welfare of all animals. As a wikipedian I help to correct articles that have errors and issues. During my holiday in France a new fact popped into my head it said there's no such thing as a good pet and a bad pet there are only good owners and bad owners. Animals should only be judged by their temperament which determines how they're brought up and treated by their owners. In my opinion, domestic and wild animals aren't that different from each other because they both retain natural instincts for example a dog bite isn't that different from a wolf bite, another example sheep, goats and camels come into rut just like deer do in the wild, both horses and donkeys can be unpredictable just like zebras can. Both domestic pigs and wild boars can be aggressive towards humans due to sows protecting their offspring and boars in the mating season. No animal can be 100% trusted no matter if its domestic or non domestic even a well trained dog can't be completely trusted with small children. I do also like drawing animals on pieces of paper and sometimes color them, I draw speech bubbles on my drawings in order to create a story and a scenario. My theory is that dingoes were once domesticated by the early aboriginals who brought them to Australia to be used for hunting kangaroos and emus, when they invented the boomerang it was a much more effective weapon then the dingo so it replaced them and the hunter gatherers released their dingoes into the wild to fend for themselves. The Greenlandic Inuits originally domesticated Greenland wolves as sled dogs, guard dogs and as pets but now there are none in captivity. I believe that both zoos and safari parks should not keep domestic animals such as camels, llamas, alpacas, Heck horses, domestic water buffaloes, gayals, Highland cattle, Heck cattle, Hungarian grey cattle, yaks, Ankole cattle and Ankole-Watusi cattle because these animals don't play a role in conservation they only play a important role in agriculture, both zoos and safari parks should only keep wild animals that play a vital role in conservation. These domestic animals should only be kept on farms, ranches and petting zoos. Dingoes, New Guinea singing dogs, European mouflons and the kri-kri are considered to be feral therefore should not be kept in zoos but they can be kept as pets or on farms and ranches. I am diagnosed with autism but its mild.
