As a self-proclaimed Hipster who has avoided all forms of being ‘with it’, I wouldn’t have anything to do with the little buggers.
I don’t know how all would react, only how i would react
The headcannon is so important here because its like, ive always seen fluffys as super weak like if one bit you as hard as he could even the biggest toughie boi coudnt break skin so i woudnt see them as a threat, the poop and general smell of ferals eveywhere would be a health issue i would imagine after a while, culling in this day and age woudnt be green flagged so i guess goverments would spend fortunes on “clean up teams” going around more better off areas to try to keep it in check, honestly sorry poopies is the most dangerous thing a fluffy can manage you get that in the eye and thats gonna be a problem.
as for domestics i think considering the ferals issue and the general health and safety concerns, hate to be the buzz kill but i think most countries would black list having fluffys as pets. black market would make a fortune selling breeders with the best colors for foals to sell to private buyers for rediculous amounts.
However if its micro-fluffs were taking about here… PREPARE FOR THE MICROS VS RATS INFESTATION WARS!! WHO CAN OUT BREED THE OTHER
Itd be fun to have 2 heards trapped and then only put out enough food for 1. Itd be interesting to see what happens. What happens when one of the smartys dies. How will they prioitise who gets food and who doesnt.
I live in an area full of gun happy rednecks and coyotes so I don’t think they’d be much of an issue wherever I live. I could never have one as a pet as I find them annoying but overall I would think of them as more of a nuisance like mice or squirrels.
I would probably keep one or two a male and a female, and take good care of them.
I’d just takedown the smarties ferals are ok
Some I would ignore, some I would cuddle and be entertained by, some I would torment.
Smarties would be instantly killed though.
I would 100% talk to them any chance I get to remind them how stupid they are and make them cry at their own stupid thoughts.
Id be glad to have one as a pet considering i could teach it manners and to be respectful, which based on the works of many here thats relatively easy if your consistent and fair.
One gripe i have with real pets is they dont listen and finding out what they want is a guessing game, (except for one of my sister’s cats, which will tap on her food bowl when shes hungry.)
With fluffies, they understand and speak english so not only is finding out what they want and them listening to commands easier, but you can also have small conversations with em.
But thats with a domestic. With ferals, id treat them as i would any pest. But i believe in giving good ones a solid chance. So id tip off animal control / wranglers and have em captured instead of exterminated.
In the most stupid way possible.
People don’t understand how bad a invasive especie could be for the environment.
The first months keyboard activist would cry about their rights, animals rights and shit like that, then after they start to rot on the summer/hot days, the incrase of flys, cockroaches, worms, ticks, fleas and more parasites and any disease they could bring into cities (rabies, lyme, black death, Hepatites) either they be ruled as biological hazard and must be eradicated or the GOB. take its sweet lazy ass time o do something making every thing worse.
So people would treat them worse than rats, abuse would take to many time and resources making it to impractical, so people would use dogs to kill them as fast as they could, hugboxing would be looked down for keeping a biohazard near human lives.
If fluffies were suddenly released into a real environment, (some in the city, and some out in the country) I would very likely have gathered up every fluffy I found and raised them either on my family land, or someone else’s.
Don’t forget that there was once a world without fluffies at some point in the past.
And encountering these new creatures for the first time is likely to be a world-shattering event for normal people.
So yeah, I’d pen them, and feed them, and breed them, and sell them, like all good shepherds should.
First id str8 up shit my pants. Then id realy want one. Then remember that I live in iceland and that they would never come here. Then id be sad
