Is it possible to breed a group of bears down to the size of a cub so that they don't get any bigger? I'd love to own a baby bear as a pet.

Would take quite a while (decades at least). Maybe if you could locate a bear with genetic dwarfism and try to breed it in captivity.

Why not just breed a dog that looks like a bear?

But nature already provides you small bears!
Why would you taint gods creatures with your unnatural experiments? :(

Quoted By:

The problem is that we don't have a bear owning culture. Dog breeders have millions of fellow breeders across the world that they can share the genes with and a bigger pool to pick new desirable mutations from. You'd have to be a billionaire and invest all your fortune into a huge bear farm so that your great-grandkids will maybe see the results. And you can't even patent mini-bears because owners can just breed them themselves once they buy a pair. Unless all cubs are sold sterilised. Then it could be profitable and worth investing in.

Did you see what the Russians were able to accomplish with foxes? Put them on the case. The bear is their national animal so they might be excited about the prospect of being able to provide every school child with their own pet bear.

Only took them 50 years, too. Does that mean that there is hope for blacks?

Dogs were originally undomesticated wolves.

yeah but they would be useless. Also the ethics are kinda bad, look at pitbulls and their skeletal structure from decades of that selective breeding

Sounds reasonable
We did it with dogs and cats

What else has it been done with?
What else should it be done with?

Why hasn't it been done with more animals?

I agree that bears should be on the short list.
Maybe a fish or reptile could be done as well.

Great apes. They can already use touchscreens and drive golf carts. Select them to be even smarter and docile, then sell them as personal assistants. I'm sure people would love a pet that can do chores and stuff.

There is literally no fucking purpose except your selfish desire to own something unique nobody have, they will be hard to manage unlike dogs which are literal wolves with more socially active like humans, but bears and foxes live in solitude and will be hard to enstablish a hierarchy.

Someone being an ostracized neet changes nothing.
