Would You Love To Have A Tiger As A Pet ? I Would, Even Tho I Would Have To Get Rid Of It When It Gets Too Big, I Would Love To Have One When Its A Cub. Would You ?

As much as I love tigers... I'm going to have to say no. Tigers belong in the wild, or at least with professionals who know how to take care of them. Even as cubs, they'd be very dangerous to have. If you could somehow tame a tiger so it could be your pet its entire lifetime, it still wouldn't be right. Tigers are happiest in the wild.

Yeah, I Have To Agree, They'd Be Happiest In The Wild...

I used to always think that I wanted a tiger as a pet. But then I grew up and realized how irresponsible it was. Tigers are a wild animal that you can't domesticate no matter how hard you try. Nature will always take over and their natural instincts will come out. They need so much more from life than being someone's pet. So while I would love a tiger as a pet I realize that it's just not ever going to happen and so I surround myself with cats.

Well, A While Ago I Got Sent An E-mail And A Video Was Attached Of Two Men Who Raised A Tiger Cub, When It Grew Up They Sent It Back To The Wild Because It Was To Big For Them To Look After, 5 Years After They Sent It Back, They Went To Visit It And It Ran Up To Them And Hugged Them, So The Natural Instincts Might Not Come Out.

Oh me too! I just really love how they look, its so cute, even though a tiger would be a pain if it gets too big, but here, there is this one person who really have a pet tiger and now its so huge already that he have to put it in a cage, but its a good thing that the tiger is tamed since it was a cub. It's not that harmless, but how tigers play at their master would be a bit dangerous, since its so big hahahahahaha. You can be crushed underneath it.
