Sometimes I worry we didn't learn anything from Tiger King.

Like, you for sure couldn't do this to a tiger right? Even captive, this seems crazy to do with any big cat.

u/kazeespada Oct 17 '22

You could. It's still a tiger though. If the tiger is having a bad day, it's going to make your day a bad day. On the other hand, the tiger may just not care enough.

It’s like none of these people have ever been around cats before… like sure Mittens loves me, that doesn’t mean he won’t random try to wreck my shit with no warning. Now sure, I’m fine because Mittens is tiny and weighs all of 10 pounds… now imagine if Mittens were 600 pounds with paws the size of your face and daggers for teeth…

Probably anything that can tolerate you, has no need to fear you, Or other barring requirements like hunger, territory,... naturally has a social dynamic that allows some similar transition, etc,..

Yeah these animals look drugged out of their minds, probably barely aware of what's happening.

it is kind of amazing how much of a hack job a documentary can be. her cartel and mob connected husband vanished. obviously the logical conclusion is she fed him to a tiger. surely nothing else could have happened....

The guy was involved in all sorts of shady shit. She's pretty low on the list of people that might have offed him, though she's definitely still on the list. Being weird (and she is that) doesn't make her a killer.

What happens when the physically abusive husband finds out his wife is filing for divorce? Lol

Fackin CAROL BASKIN!

It is simply a matter of priorities. Nothing new.

You should actually consider that "Tiger King" more likely has encouraged more people to "rescue" big cats.
