Damn that's harsh. Those animals should be left in the wild I guess. I don't understand the fascination some folks have with having dangerous or exotic pets. Maybe if you have a ranch like dsetting and you are doing rescue and rehab or something I can understand.
I love tigers and think a tiger cub would be an awesome pet but I would never get one because it's not good for the tiger and it's nit good for the people around them. I can foresee the problematic aspects of responsibility of owning a tiger. What a pain in the ass!
