Seriously, why can't I have a seal as a pet?
I could put a small pool in the backyard so he/she could enjoy swimming and I live next to a fish market so I'd bring home a fish each night for dinner as a treat (along with the Purina Seal Chow I would assume I could buy at my local grocery store when seals become pets.)



Seriously - wouldn't this be a great pet. It would be like having a living full size pillow when it snuggles with you on your bed.

I say we start the movement to allow seals as pets!

1. I think eventually you become the pillow
and get smothered by your cute pet.

Don't they have big teeth too?

And you'd get lots of complaints about the noise.

3. Walrus gets the big teeth, I'll stay with the smaller seals
And since my neighbors #)$#)@#$@ dog barks all the time - he has no room to complain about my pet seal.

8. Yeah I think I did go where one should never go
:hide:

I would think that with adding Purina Seal Chow into the diet it would help keep it all clean smelling.

14. They swim in giant sewage dumps we call Oceans
I would bath my seal and make her smell all nice and pretty.

You'd be so jealous you'd want one then!

20. You can have one of the seven seals of the apocalypse as a pet.
But they have weird dietary needs. :shrug:

23. I think it's a great idea, LynneSin...
Think of the massive snuggling...

(I'm sure you've seen this already, but it is inspiring. Especially if a little suffocation doesn't bother you.)

Cheers..
