Would be nice to have an pet velociraptor. Never shown correctly in the Jurasic Park movies. They are not bigger than a turkey

Looks like he has the perfect size to bite your balls. Not so sure about the pet suggestion

Hey, so are plenty of dogs. Doesn't stop my ball headbashers from being good boys.

We're not talking dogs here.

We're taking something much closer to birds. I.e., utter evil bastards. Probably smart, too.

No one in their right mind keeps cassowaries as pets, with very good reason.

Ball headbasher to ballgnasher is a quick chomp.

Then we just need them to have a social structure compatible with human preferences and 10'000 years of haphazard breeding.

You would still not want one as a pet.

Why not just get a pet turkey?
