- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Domesticating a wild animal is not a good idea because wild animals are not suited for living in human environments. They have specific needs and behaviors that cannot be easily met or changed. Domestication requires generations of selective breeding and even then, the animal may still retain some wild instincts. It is safer and more ethical to leave wild animals in their natural habitats where they can thrive and fulfill their natural roles in the ecosystem.Rate this question:
