The fact that the goblin girl so easily adapted to civilized life just raises the question as to why all the other goblins are living like Savages and killing other races. This basically shows that them wiping out the Goblins was just unnecessary mass murder.
You can make one rat into a moderately well-behaved pet. But you have to hand-rear them
into pets.
Wild rats are simply rats....
The more intelligent a being is, the less likely this is to actually happen.
Some peeps think they can do it to Chimps, until they find out a chimp is a
chimp: the attitude and anger issues of a Chihuahua in a body that's two two three times as strong as a human, in
any physical metric... And far,
far more intelligent than the yappie dog...
I'd
far prefer to "keep" any kind of panther, who
do have us on the Menu, but at least are honest and predictable and relatively easy to please, than have to deal with one single chimp.
A pack of chimps living next to you who have figured out they can actually beat you into a pulp? Eradication is the only option.
Now replace chimp with goblin....
