Probably costs and arm and a leg though...

That's nothing. My wife lets me pet her pussy.

and ironically your wife's pussy is the worlds largest feline.

Fee-fi-fo
Tiger jism
I smell me some Darwinism!

There's a zoo in Argentina that does this, too.

I doubt the tigers are drugged.

They are used to humans, and most importantly, not hungry.

Most predators don't kill for fun, that's mostly done by our species.

Good one nor.

I bet it's only the Americans.

from the article:
"the tigers are taken care of by younger employees who seem think it's okay to kick them and drag them by their tails"

You're right. They treat them so well.

I imagine a number of them have been fixed - otherwise the testosterone triggered from urine spray might change their demeanor.

My boy (now a healthy 20+ lb feral tom I've adopted last winter) is very much like a wild predator at times. They do like rough play (I'm always the bleeding loser) and require a lot of reassurance and continual handling. I don't hit out of punishment, only playing his level of preferred interaction. He doesn't play roughly with anyone else - when people come over they are typically mauled with affection. This is the same cat who can jump from the ground onto peoples shoulders and can easily trip a human to the ground - he's wonderful and a little wild. These tigers are quite probably in similar circumstances.

Played with 3 month old lion cubs in South Africa. You'd have to be insane to do the same with full grown adults no matter what state they are in.

How do you know if the feline is well fed, especially in these ramshackle outfits?

We could be seeing soon some very gory youtube videos coming out of Thailand soon.

I never said they did.

I said I doubted they were drugged.

I don't know of any drug that would allow me to safely approach a conscious tiger that had not been conditioned to humans.

Unless there is some evidence of drugging, those accusations seem to me to be a somewhat xenophobic knee-jerk reaction.

Hey Ward, have you seen the Beaver? He was standing there just a second ago. What could have happened to him?

Ask Eddie Haskel.

Big deal! We get to pay Congressmen and Senators! What's the difference? They both bite off more than they can chew, stuff the excess into nooks and crannies, look contentedly around while sizing up their next prize/reward, and pounce on anything shiny and different AND spend inordinate amounts of time doing innocuous, meaningless tasks just to appear busy and intelligent!

As a matter of fact they both act just like KIDS! Thank GOD we elected some of them, if not they could hurt themselves!

I said that to make a point. If they beat and kick the animals, don't you think that makes them more likely to drug them?

Roger,

They are not using whips, crops, sticks or prods. They are using their hands and feet.

I'd want to see this or a cursory medical examination of the tigers.
