Please, for the sake of their cuteness and survival, if you see one in danger, please save it. I once had a Moschops called Chubby, my most favourite tame in the game. He was so loyal. I left him someplace once, and forgot about him. 5 days later, I went back, and there he was, waiting for me.

So please, kill anything that attacks them, wild or tamed. Do it for Chubby.
