No offense, but are you SURE it was a CB animal? Sounds wild caught to me. If so it sounds like it was most likely mistreated by someone before it came to you. I realize at the age of 14 most people don't have the knowledge, intelligence, or strength for that matter to care for a burm, even a tame one.



That being said, I still don't believe it was reason enough to put it down.



The big question is, do you feel you have matured enough to take the responsibility of another one, reguardless of it's temprament? Even CB can be mean for different reasons. Illness, mistreatment and simple stress all have negative affects. In the 11 years since, have you researched burms well enough to be able to house and care for it properly. Financially, are you able to house it correctly, feed it what it will need as an adult? If I were you, I'd give this a LOT of thought. Just my opinion.
