Forbidden Pets ?!

I LOVEEE animals so so much! and apparently I love animals that should never be kept as a pet even more  (╥ᆺ╥；). The thing is though, If not meant to be pet why so frickin pet-able! I just go bat/s crazy whenever it comes to any animals whether it would be large or small, mammal, amphibians, reptiles!! maybe I should think about taking up a career as a vet, it would make sense no? I have an adorable chihuahua named Pantera, she's a cutie but she is not a sweetheart when it comes to eating!! (I've been bitten countless of times) sometimes I swear I see little devil horns on her head..  (  •̀ - •́  ), anyways I'm getting off track, my point is Lions are just giant cats that can eat you in about 2 seconds but are still so adorable! I just want one little rub without my hand being bitten off :D! and is it strange that I think Hyenas are not only fascinating creatures but also cute?
