Tigers and Lions

If you're given a chance to take care of those animals like tigers and lions, will you take it? I've known some people who takes care of it as a pet. I wonder how they got far? I like to take care of them if they are still cubs but if they grew up, I won't. Will you dare?

When I was a kid, I wanted to own a cub. I find them cute especially after watching lion king. I’d still want to own a cub, provided it will not grow any bigger.

No, i never would. They are really "wild" animals and it would be mean to have them as a pet. They need lots of space, their eating habit is difficult to satisfy and i don't think they like to spend time with people.

I guess so. But maybe you migh tame wild animals if you interact with them when they are still a cub. But then it would be a risk to indulge into something like that because it's their nature tobe carnivorous.

I don't know if it is possible. I have seen some cases on tv, when the mother rejected her child and then the zoo staff cared about it. They took the baby with them at their house, where it lived a few weeks. But at a certain point it was then big and wild enough to get back to the other animals. So i am not sure if they can really tame it.

I am not sure but it is pretty risky to take care of tigers or lions. They are not traditional house pets. I mean, I don't even know if they can be considered exotic pets. Even if you start taking care of a tiger when it is still a cub, it can't give you any guarantee that it won't hurt you or any member of your family in the future. Scary.
