who wants an animal as a pet that can eat you?

Poor creatures Sad

Why would a man want to keep 176 tigers? I just don't get it.

Article about this from the BBC website.

Very pertinent that this is on now, after the awful thing with all the shot tigers and lions etc in Ohio the other week....video here, but disturbing images

This is heartbreaking. I can't believe the number of people who see them as an accessory. "Everyone has a cat or a dog, so I want a tiger."

And they are actually baiting these animals. I can't believe this.

when I visited friends in arizona many years ago, there were african lions roaming the desert near their house. they were probably set free by someone who couldn't feed them anymore. scary.

Jeez, this is unpleasant watching. It all seems to be about ego....wanting to be the master of big animals. They're kept in terrible conditions too - tiny cages.

These people are mad. Cruel, ignorant stupid people.

Ariesgirl · 30/10/2011 21:29

Exactly Selks. And that poor little bear dashing up and down it cage and headbutting the bars. Gross. The woman clearly knew it was wrong which is why she wouldn't do the interview.

Dear god, is that man fucking his monkey because that's the implication.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 30/10/2011 21:35

Total white trash

Ariesgirl · 30/10/2011 21:36

EARRINGS! Shock Christ on a bike.

Selks · 30/10/2011 21:36

Jeezuz, the woman who has pierced her monkey's ears......words fail me.

Aerobreaking · 30/10/2011 21:37

WHAT was that in the PRAM? Dear God, I've seen it all now!

TenderlyLovinglyByAGoat · 30/10/2011 21:38

If Nepal was my back garden I would have pet tigers AND snow leopards.

Am not watching because 1. It is not nice to keep wild things as pets and 2. I do really really really really really want a tiger of my own :( just want to feel one, velvety paws and fluffy ears and furry tummy and maybe just have it in my house for a day to startle visitors and delivery people when tiger pokes his head round the door . . . like the tiger who came to tea only better

KenDoddsDadsDog · 30/10/2011 21:38

A kangaroo! Jesus Mary and Joseph.

gushofbloodtothefloor · 30/10/2011 21:38

Dear God - was that a wallaby in a pushchair? (there's a sentence I never dreamed I would write!)

The only thing on here that's "entertaining" is Louis' face. The rest of it is just hideous.
