With that line of thinking -- the recreational firearms people are playing with toys, then?

There is conditioned response, operant conditioning and imprinting involved, that does not make the animal a pet.

I've had iguanas in the past that recognized me, but that's no more a response than the tropical fish trying to swim through the glass to get fed.

The animals and situations previously referred to may be considered tame by their owners and they may behave specifically to certain cues, but they are in no way tame pets.

If a lion trainer in the circus can interact and control the behavior of his big cats, does that mean the cats are tame pets? No it means they are trained wild animals.
