Shintoko Akahoshi
While your concern for the Syrikos hounds is appreciated and admirable. It should be noted that the situtation is a lot more complex though.
We’re fully aware the Syrikos are not as demonic as a Federal or Matari news outlet would paint them. This species was simply brought into the Amarr Empire to a questionable job that they were bred and trained to do.
That said, the Amarrians picked this species for a reason. The Syrikos hounds are highly aggressive animals. Bonfied predators with a meanstreak. This is simply their primative nature. The instincts they inherited from their long lineage of ancestors.
But these animals can be trained and taught discipline. As proven countless times by the Amarrians. So the Zaibatsu is aware that these animals are not brainless savage beasts…Chief Fabricator Viokoro Velan might say otherwise however.
The part I believe you’re missing however Ms.Akahoshi - is that the Zaibatsu has no interest in letting these hounds in people’s houses.
We have no one experienced in Syrikos Hounds, we have no idea how they would integrate into our society. No idea the long term effects they can have on the ecosystem of Nannaras X. And no idea if the plan we got for them is going to even work like we want it to.
We’re already in a difficult position- The lack of personnel to train 300 hounds is one thing - all of these hounds are of different age groups. Some nearly out of that optimal window to start training them and some that are even halfway fully grown. And in the conditions these hounds were born in- were they were reportly treated poorly and malnourished - some have begun showing “quirks” that may be a problem once training actually begins.
Putting these hounds up for adoption so they can sit on one of our colonists’ sofas with their family around, with only a “Dummies’ guide” found on some message board on the galnet is in no
way a good idea right now.
That said - I’m not suggesting you’re lying about this hound you currently own. In fact, its heartwarming. And assuming you’ve had past experience with caretaking with animals - this is less about some basic guideline to house training a dog and more on the lines of being competent with animals. As such, I would be interested to put your name down with colony admistration if you wanted to pitch in with these hounds. You sure as ■■■■ ain’t gonna do it alone, but the offer is there.
Though we got different plans for them - We’re gonna keep the aggressive tendencies in check with discipline and routine. Based on this species strengths we got some roles in mind that might be suitable - and maybe give a new reputation to the species. We don’t want to just stick all thes hounds on some reserve and be done with them. We have a chance to make them a contributing factor to the Zaibatsu. Our are chances the best they can be? Not exactly - but still in our favor if we can get a lid on this.
