Redditors Share The Worst Animals To Try And Adopt As Pets

Pets can be a lot more work than people think, and not all animals adapt equally to a new environment, in fact many species of animals are meant to live in the wild, and don't lend themselves to domestication. Because of all this, it's important to do your research before adopting pets, especially if you're considering some kind of exotic animal. In this case, a Redditor asked for advice on which species of animals should not be adopted as pets, and boy did it get a crazy reaction on Reddit…

It turns out that there are a lot of species of animals that do not make good pets, or even ok pets, and can be a real danger to everyone around them if they aren't properly cared for. Take a look below and you'll learn quite a bit about how people value their pets, and their word, and also what people think about pet sitters who ignore or disobey the pet owner's instructions while taking care of an animal. There is no limit to the sweetest things that pets do for their hoomans, at least from the perspective of the humans, so we need to take good care of them.
