I do not want to see one more wild animal fad...ever! No more cute sugar gliders dying by the thousands because if improper care due to unknowledgable/uncaring owners. no more wild cat/domestic cat crossbreeds or wolf/dogs.
There is a new fad up and coming. It's the South American short-tailed opossum. Just like sugar gliders these poor little animals will also die by the thousands as victims of the pet trade unless something is done to change the laws.

And along with what voodoojoint said, there are so many cross-breeds people are creating, using wild animals to breed with domestic animals to create an almost hybrid animal, like the liger for instance or the new domestic cat breed, the toyger. I don't think it's right. If it's not a natural breed then it shouldn't exist. They'll only end up with genetic problems and deformities, as well as become unfortunate pets that will be bred by the thousands to die in pet stores.
