[4X4]

You guys remember that episode of Life Goes On when Corky Thatcher had that pig named Jeffrey? Hahaha... He sure did get attached to Jeffrey...

Corky I mean?

If one wanted to get extremely technical about it, the Golden Retriever is still a wild species.

1) 'Golden Retriever' is not a species. Canis Familiaris is the species name, all domestic dogs are members of this species.

2) From a genetic perspective, there is no difference between Canis Familiaris and Canis Lupus (The Grey Wolf) it is impossible to distinguish between the two species from looking at their DNA and the two can interbreed freely and successfully.

3) Dogs frequently and easily revert back to a wild state. Even dogs who have been raised by people, if abandoned, can easily become feral.

As did the horses at Suffield and the "wild" horses found in the foothills of Alberta.

If one wanted to get extremely technical about it they should be classified under the same species.

Isn't it really cool to think that in maybe 100 years there will actually be mini-versions of some of these large animals, and you could have an 18 inch tall Hippo as a pet!? I hope I'm around to see this.

100 years? Have you seen these things?



I want an army of midgets riding these things into battle...I could take over Torrington and become Ultimate Ruler!!

When bobcats are outlawed, only outlaws will have bobcats.

I don't want to live in a world where good, peace-loving, Xenu-fearing people are hopelessly out-bobcatted by criminals

As do pigs. Yup, those cute, fat, pink widdle piggies that give us various bacons and hams turn feral if they escape from the farm. Pigs are kinda gross to begin with, but they're immeasurably worse once their teeth have turned tusk-like (Optional: Insert line from "Snatch" here where the guy is talking about how pigs can chew through a human in X days, and not to trust anyone with a pig farm).
