I don't want to domesticate the animals - it's cruel because we can barely keep the ones we have mentally healthy

I just want animal friends. I don't need to own them, they don't need to live with me, but I want them to come visit for pets and the occasional treat

And I could do it too... I'm very good at getting the trust of animals. You just have to establish a common language and show yourself to be trustworthy over time. But that requires being able to live somewhere with a healthy ecosystem...
