The relationship between a man and an animal has been shaped by the history of civilization, culture, and religion. The current situation of many species is dramatic yet the sentimental view on nature, and its qualities: with representations of animals of power being used as a sign of spiritual or strictly economical status is rising. Therefore I can see an interesting context of keeping an unusual animal at home. The question arises: who is the main subject? The domination, cultural and economical capital, love for nature? For me it's animals and their possibility to take over.
