Should pets be allowd in the tribe?

Yes
No
Depends on what kind of animal

sezawte

^^ true that.

I get the feeling though that it's very unlikely we could get a domesticated animal to be useful on hunts etc. (note domesticated) especially if it's used to household surroundings
join our real life tribe! here(And yes, it will be a real tribe in the real world, not a role play tribe)

He isn't much. Our wireless doorbells's off the wall, so I click it just to hear him bark. He doesn't understand the doorbell.

Working cats? What do they do? All mine does is collapse next to the heater and occasionally get's up for food.
Oh I was thinking rat catchers. I'm guessing we will probably need to prevent rodents at some point. However I agree most cats are lazy, we would need good hunters.

Cat's where domesticated when humans stopped to move from place to place and started to build villages. Cats are very good at killing rodents and stuff that eat the food you grow or hunt.

Yes, already conceded the point about cats, wasn't thinking

Cats being used as ratters are a development of "modern society." It could be a problem in the eco-village, especially if you're using renewable and biodegradable materials to build and insulate your home.  I can definitely see the need for cats in the eco-village.  Problem?  You need real cats that can acutally hunt and survive.
Gah.  Work! Ill finish that later!

I can see small ratting dogs as a more efficient way to control pests and hunt small animals than cats.  Dogs will actually hunt on command.  XD

My dogs a ratter by breed [Schnauzer]. Just needs to get used to humans.

Heres my thoughts on "pets"? unless its a true hunting type animal or feeds the people I dont feel it has a purpose. Now here are some examples where a pet can do both, ferrets. When properly trained they can down small burrowing holes and ferret out small animals for food even kill them and drag them out such as rabbits or squirral. Dogs by far larger breeds make a great warning animale simply put they hear and smell far beyond our range. Dogs and a pack mentality once rasied and trained properly in both village and amonge our tribel family they will fiercly fight to the death for you, all they ask in return is share of the spoils at your table and rub my belly  ;D I dont know much of the area of Falconing but from what I understand great hobby and again another way to gather small animals and such. And lastly rabbits but not any kind of breed there is a breed known as the German giant dwarf this first they well breed like rabbits so stock is good so long as we keep our good supply of male and females on hand. Second their size they can grow up 58 lbs they were orginaly grown to support german farmers and their famils through harsher winters when it just wasnt feesable to get to a village or town for more stock, go to youtube and put in search german giant dwarf if you wanna see one of these monsters. The only trouble with any kind of animal we have is falling in love with it espically if its eventuly going to end up on our dinner plate. I say no to pets at least to start becuase all resources are needed for the humans first maybe 2 years down the line when we are 100% self sufficent I see it as a possiblity but for my 2 cents now.

well falconry is a difficult subject to address, iv done falconry for a few years now (even though i don't own a falcon, which technically inst the right word its a coined American phrase and i hate myself using it) and i have many books on the subject.

Birds of prey (correct term) come in a few different classes (from what i can tell reading) short wings and longs wings are the basic 2. each one is better suited to a different environment. then you have females and males (males are usually 1/3 smaller than the females and different colours)

and then you get into care and training and all sort sorts of stuff. you have to have all teh right equipment and it get very complicated
