I think he means just casual awareness that tha tiger is a TIGER!

oh, how clever! A tiger is a tiger! I thought a tiger is a cat!

Why, yes, a tiger is a cat. How profound of you.

What a shrewd guess I had, no?

Huh?!

Well - it was quite a shrewd guess, indeed..

A person of a shrewd behaviour is oftentimes keen, perhaps intelligent, and very tricky.

Believe me, he is.

I guess by looking at my previous statement...

Sry for OT.
Now back on topic.

I find forceing a tiger to live inside a house whether is major or not to be pretty crewl to the tiger.
Anyone with any counter statements? I've been waiting for one a longtime now.

Okay, let's put this into speculation. Let's say that your house is HUGE. I mean REALLY HUGE. Large enough for the tiger to take 10 minutes to get from one side of the house to another. And you've given the tiger virtually everything that he or she could possibly need. A playground, a place to sleep, do his or her business, and eat-a-plenty. Would it still be a good idea to have a tiger in your home?

NO!

Just as Siegfried and Roy. What those two did was just insane... somehow I don't believe what I saw on Father of the Pride. The logic is just too clear. Tigers are extremely dangerous, even if they are being playful.

Take a cat's behaviour and multiply it by 100 times. You've got yourself a tiger. You know how your kitty will brush himself up against you and purr? Cute, isn't it? Well, if a tiger does that to you, then you're liable to get your knee snapped or a broken bone. And such has happened.

Remember Animal Planet's Growing Up Tiger? The "Awesome Pawsome" was that episode. And one of the park associates told that another employee got his knee hurt badly by a tiger when the tiger just "bumped into him." You're looking at up to 300 kilos of pure muscle. These cats are built for power.

Even if you did train the tiger and even if you did the best possible job, the danger is still very real.

Assure you, I can, dear The Sonic God, that a tiger is not an extremely dangerous animal when being in the right hands... just an old Tibetian mystical theory

Yes, but I've studied big cats for over 20 years. Even in the hands of trained professionals, their power is undeniable.

A Buddhist monk says that the key is in the love - it may sound strange to believe but how do you explain the harmony in the Temple Of Tigers?

And I would agree with him. Love is a key aspect of any relationship, regardless of race or species.

love makes life transparent and unambiguous...
