here, you want my weird future prediction? I think we are on the edge of the next generation of animal domestication. Im not talking anything insane like lions or zebras or whatever. But I think many "urban" animals- I think raccoons are the most likely but also opossums, foxes, or coyotes, they're all candidates. I don't think they'll be as common as dogs or cats but I think they'll quietly join the ranks of "alternative" pets like hedgehogs, starlings, pigeons and doves, or uncommon farm animals like peacocks or emus or something.
I don't know if this is an unambiguous "good thing", at some point domestication inevitably involves plucking animals from the wild, and animal breeding is a whole quagmire that is corrupted by capital incredibly easily and gets disgustingly awful fast. But I just kinda have a feeling.
