## Seriously? People Want *Dingoes* as Pets?!
Right, let’s unpack this delightful piece of news from Down Under: an Australian state is *seriously considering* allowing dingoes to be kept as pets. Yes, you read that correctly. Dingoes. Those apex predators with a penchant for livestock and a reputation for…well, being *dingoes*. Apparently, the logical next step after owning miniature goats and rescued squirrels is domesticating a creature genetically closer to wolves than dogs. I’m just brimming with confidence about how this will all pan out, aren’t you?
It’s not like Australia has enough uniquely challenging wildlife already. We’ve got spiders that could star in their own horror films, snakes that look suspiciously like garden hoses, and crocodiles who consider human interaction a pleasant afternoon snack. Now we want to add *dingoes* to the mix?! Because clearly, responsible pet ownership is thriving with budgies and bearded dragons.
I can just see it now: “Fluffy,” the adorable dingo pup, bounding down the street, enthusiastically “greeting” the mailman (and likely ripping his trousers). Picture families proudly showing off their canine companions at obedience school – a truly terrifying spectacle involving frantic hand signals and panicked yelps. “He’s just playful!” they’ll insist while explaining the emergency room visit of Mrs. Higgins next door.
And the training! Good luck teaching *that* to sit. More like, “Please don’t chase the postman, or the neighbor’s cat, or that small child holding an ice cream cone.” I bet they will all be saying it is a misunderstanding and this animal is gentle when, inevitably, chaos erupts.
Honestly, some ideas are best left firmly in the realm of utterly ridiculous fantasies. This one? It’s reaching peak absurdity.
