Bees are easier to keep than a dog or a cat. They are more interesting than gerbils. They can be kept anywhere.
In the end, I think it would be lovely if we stopped this whole notion of pets altogether.
At one point, I had close to 100 birds.
My wife and I, we started a foundation about companion animal rescue, but there's a group called Performing Animal Welfare Society just outside of Sacramento... and they offered me a job as an elephant keeper.
I had aquariums of bullfrogs and mudpuppies. My poor mom had to deal with me incubating chicken eggs in my bedroom.
places to hunt places to hide are getting harder to find, and pet canaries and goldfish too, did you notice that?
As a kid I used to raise snakes. Obviously, my social life was a bit down at the time. But it took me a while to realise that with an interest like that people are going to think there's something wrong with you.
