I live in Tasmania :)
That’s a great idea.
Also, I advocate to make endangered animals legal to keep as pets.
Look how successful cats and dogs are.

After all, the success of dogs didn't do anything to prevent the near extinction of the wolf.
That's not to say that Tasmanian devils are docile enough to be that kind of pet, though.
Part of what makes the cancer so transmissible with Tasmanian devils is their predisposition for biting each other, especially on the face, well past the point of drawing blood.
I mean, they're not called devils because they're red with horns.
Ya’d need to keep them in an enclosure. They breed in captivity fine.[1]
I wonder if they could be bred to become house pets. Could take a while.
