Why is there a law saying you can't keep wildlife? How the fuck do you think we got dogs in the first place?! I'm domesticating a bear at home and there's nothing you can do to stop me!

just keep pet fruit flies, you can even play god with their genome and witness the horrors of your creation, and that's science!

Because they don’t want people catching wildlife for pets.
