@SAGuineaPigLover In an ideal world, I completely agree- however, I do believe they're on the endangered species list.
For breeding, for ensuring that the species never die out- zoos are an unfortunate necessity. Also- out of sight out of mind. Part of the reason why conservation groups get as much funding as they do is because people will go to a zoo and connect with an animal who needs help in the wild.
There are some species who are only alive in zoos, completely killed in the wild.
Why the fuck do you need a pet for? I don't understand this. To keep him in a leash and in your cage you call apartament? Some kind of slavery, eh?
Maybe that fucking animal doesn't share your "beautiful" sentiments of "how cute is he". Maybe that animal would like to be free, but he can't really communicate with you, can he?
it needs to be done slowly. they need to be integrated as household pets over GENERATIONS. thy aren't safe yet, cause they aren't accustomed enough to human interaction. but over generations we can breed them so they arent indangered, keep getting closer and closer with each generation until we can trust them like dogs. you would then at this point need to castrate male tigers if you were keeping them as pets. Even big male dogs are threatening when a bitch is on heat!
honestly (in my opinion) as long as a wild pet is well taken care of, as in the right diet, the right medical care, the right amount of space, a nice overall habitat, and most important gets lots of love and play, i think people should be allowed to have them if all their needs are met. if a person owns a wild animal its a risk they are willing to take because it is after all a wild animal, and they have attacked people many times.
Unless you are an amazing handler, a creature like a tiger can never have a shitty day in human captivity. If a typical dog is feeling grumpy. He bites. You bruise or have some drawn blood. If a tiger has a bad day he will play with your head till it falls off. Then he will sit there in the carnage of your living room wondering why he hasn't been fed for three days. A tiger has no concept of correct human behaviour. WE have to dance around the tigers instincts. So generally..Not a god pet.

Omg stupid people saying its fine to have a pet Tiger.
Its not. They would be neglected of what they needed, food meat learning to hunt and being able to run around freely. its not fair to have them as pets.
dogs have been domesticated... and even though they do live with us and were once wild, they are still unpredictable. Tigers are definitely not meant to be a house/yard pet, you can't stop a tiger from malling someone. Have you ever seen how parrots are taken from their natural habitat and brought to the states, 3/4 of them die before leaving the forest.. and an owl for a pet?
@godessbast apparently you think that humans can stop a WILD animal from hurting people. How about you try googling trainers attacked by tigersr-like a TRAINER mauled by his own tiger-who he raised by hand? Or did you forget about Roy-the magician-who has a property FILLED with tigers and was mauled by his own tiger? Do your damn research before you open your mouth.
@Mimsley82 I didn't say "hurting" I said stop them when mauling.You are a crazy person who needs to control things you do not understand. You are stating isolated high profile incidences. Your overly emotional response does not help your non factual rant. I've done my homework. I know the stats, clearly YOU don't. PEOPLE kill people more often than animals.You don't see me yelling at people to not have kids because humans are proven to grow up dangerous. Get some help... please.
@godessbast How are you going to stop a tiger from mauling someone? Are you a trainer? Have you ever worked with a large cat? I have a family friend who volunteers at a sanctuary for large cats. Even the "trained" personnel won't enter the cages with the animals, unless they are sedated. What's the difference between a tiger mauling someone in a "high profile" incident to one that isn't? They are still the same animal.
people who say things like that don't understand statistics
of course people kill more often than animals, because people are allowed to use guns and roam free and are not kept in cages, not to mention that the average human interacts with far more humans than animals
If all your friends were tigers and they were just allowed to roam free through the streets, I guarantee you there would be a lot more tiger murders than human murders.
@maximum411 I wish people would pay more attention to the stats. Accurate ones regarding potential danger are available on the REXANO home page. I don't really get where you're going with the "If your friends were tigers thing." Sounds like an interesting video game idea. Now, while I appreciate concern for my saftey...(sarcasm) I'll promise not to hound the world about skydiving, horseback riding or getting into cars... if you'll all just leave me to be happy in my volunteer work :)
What I'm talking about when I say statistics is when people say things like (and I've seen this on a LOT of sites): since more people get killed by dogs every year then tigers dogs are more dangerous. The ignorance of those kinds of statements is astounding. I mean, if there are 10 tigers and 9 of them kill someone, versus 1000 dogs and 20 of them kill someone, that does not mean dogs are more dangerous.
@maximum411 - 9 out of 10 tigers kill someone... who's fudging stats now? The difference is... Your neighbor's dog has an actual chance of getting out and killing someone who had no intention of interacting with the animal. .In the U.S. , NO PET Lion or TIGER HAS EVER ESCAPED AND KILLED SOMEONE WHO WAS NOT WILLINGLY INVOLVED IN INTERACTION . The only people at risk are those who CHOOSE to be around the cats... extrapolate that. :)
Owning a big cat is actually a pretty bad thing. Most of the time the owners can't handle the pet when it grows up, they will NEVER be like pet cats and dogs. A lot of the time people are stuck with them because no one will take them, and the animal ends up abused or in a cage its entire life. Check out big cat rescue, they're a real eye opener. They rescue these big kitties that the owner just can't keep anymore.
I feel for people who think its stupid not being able 2 have one, but its also stupi that you seem to forget its a wild animal and may hurt or kill you by mistake if it plays too roughly. It is too big to be kept at a house, even if you do have a big mansion with a big yard. They're 2 big 2 b kept as pets. And it isn't right to just keep it while it's cute and small then give it away. It's like taking a puppy then giving it away when it reaches a year or so. It's not fair to the animal.
@IcePrincessG if you take good care of the animal, then why not keep it as a pet? yes, they may be able to kill you, but thats your problem, not other people's.
@imjohnandyouare The problem with that attitude is that conservation programs and sanctuaries have incredibly limited space. No program that exists can take in every abandoned wild pet just because the cute "wore off". It is unfair to force an incredibly dangerous wild animal to live in a cage that is 9 times out of 10 far too small for its needs and make it wear a leash and collar just so that a human can have an ego trip.
lol this person is stupid i think thats one of the tiger cubs at bush gardens and hes all like "my" pet tiger alot of people do it but i dont know why he would waste his day like this
1. Your reading my comment 2. Now your saying/thinking thats a stupid fact. 4. You didnt notice that i skipped 3. 5. Your checking it now. 6. Your smiling. 7. Your still reading my comment. 8. You know all you have read is true. 10. You didnt notice that i skipped 9. 11. Your checking it now. 12. You didnt notice there are only 10 facts Copy and paste to 3 videos tomorrow will be your best day ever
And u guys are dumb asses... it is legal to have a wild animal only if u have a permet and u have to be a professinal to take care of it..besides it not hers/his lard asses
It pisses me off people who say u shouldnt be able to own a pet because its a wild animal. Dogs were at one point wild as well. I bet the first person to own one told everyone how nasty, wild and needy dogs were. Even so over the years dogs became accepted. Im not being specific to tigers but if u want to own a pet I dont see the issue. I would love to have an owl but they are illegal. They live 1 to 2 years in the wild 20 in captivity go figure. if its endangered thats a diff story.
Just because dogs used to be wild and became domesticated does not give us the right to domesticate more species of animals. Perhaps in a perfect world the dog never would have become domesticated, but it has been and now can no longer survive stably in the wild as a species. Wild species still can though, and so we as humans don't have the right to take that away from them. Not to mention owls can live for 20 years in a zoo, not in your house.
@ratedEG Why would you want to tame such a beautiful animal? Tigers and Lions and such are meant to be FREE. To run around in the wild and hunt and do their own thing.
A dog can be controlled and been domesticated over a course of thousands of years - no way i would feel safe if one junkie neighbour kept a tiger as a pet because he thinks they are so cool (or will make him look cool) Besides a tiger is a cat, and will have trouble being obedient (to an alpha male or owner). Even house cats as we kept for pets for equally as long has a very different attitude then dogs, and do mostly as they want.
@ratedEG Dogs have been in captivity since BCE times. Every dog you see is from hundreds of generations of selective breeding to make them more docile or agressive to suit the needs of the owner. The same would happen with your owl, It will become something else that will look nothing like the owl you dream of having.
the issue is that when that "pet" gets loose and kills someone, its a problem. it happened in an NYC apartment with some moron who was keeping a tiger.
youre a dumbass who doesnt see the world except through your own Point of view....
@ratedEG dogs were breed by humans in a hundreds of year long process which tigers werent, also a tiger will never be a pet like a dog, as soon as he gets big as 400 pounds you cant handle him, like when hes small, anymore. If you try you will always be in danger.
clearly a dog is completely different from a tiger. you cant compare the two. its wrong to keep a tiger as a pet and inside your house like a dog. its not fair to the tiger and its selfish.
@ratedEG Yeah but I think the main concern is that predomesticated dogs/wolves are ALOT smaller than tigers. I would love to have a pet tiger but its so dam big it would easily overpower me. I guess your point is valid for smaller animals like owls as you said but not big animals like tigers and lions.
@ezzazen once, the neighbour of my aunt had a pet lion in his garden o.O and I live in germany, not in Arizona or something. So I believe it is also valid for bigger animals ;)
Seriously? WOLVES were domesticated because in turn for helping the humans hunt, they would get pieces of the kill and a warm place to sleep. Last time I checked, a wolf can fit inside your tent-- not a fucking tiger. A tiger is more likely to snap at any second and maul your face off than a dog is.
@ratedEG ok uhm i agree with you but dogs became pets pretty much back in the caveman days. They were more used as hunting tools, there weren't scientists or good communication back then, so no you bet wrong.
@wart147 and still the wolf (I call it wolf now, though, they weren't dogs in that way) was a threat to the people back then. I mean, what would you think, if someone comes around with a wolf, when a wolf pack killed your family (just an example) before? And animals are able to communicate as well, so, I belive the back-then-humans were able to communicate as well, although, they weren't able to speak like we do now :)
@ratedEG The thing you're missing here is dogs have been domesticated over centuries and their descendants have been bred to work and live with humans. Wild animals have NOT been domesticated, thus the issue. And no, breeding a wild animal in captivity for a few generations doesn't make it domesticated.
@TTarOtaku What exactly are your credentials? You jumped from "wild" to "domesticated." In between the two are captive bred wildlife. Which is what we're talking about. You might want to consider educating yourself befpore attemting to educate others. It always makes me laugh when people use an authorative tone to spout opinion as fact. You come off as very silly.
@godessbast Did you ignore my entire reply for the sake of trying to appear intelligent? I mentioned captive-bred wildlife, but apparently you ignored the part where I mentioned that. Like I said before, breeding an animal in captivity for a few generations doesn't make it domesticated. Tigers will not be domesticated with just a few (very limited) generations of captive-born breeding.
@ratedEG and you shouldnt...because its a wild animal..dogs are not wild animals and never been, dogs come from wolfs that was and is a wild animal.... :S
@Kecenaa Foxes, wolves and coyotes are all part of the Canidae/Dog Family and are therefore still dogs. There are even forms of the modern domestic dogs (Canis Lupus Familiaris) that are wild, such as the Dingo, the New Guinea Singing Dog, the Pariah Dog and the Carolina Dog.
Suffice to say that you're fucking wrong and that ratedEG's point still stands.
@ratedEG having a tiger is not the brightest idea you know. i mean a Tiger is way more stronger then a human u can dominate a dog if it gets the idea to attack you, but i tiger will mostly make you shit your pants
@tsoppannos unless you get a tiger while it's still young. if you raise it and love it, it will recognize you as a friend after all their instinct are set as "friend or foe".
@MrDroopdog1 all I know is a wild animal is supposed to be in the wild not in captivity, their not supposed to adept our lifestyle IMO neither should dogs theres to many terrible owners out there already imagine if they had fucking tigers 2
@tsoppannos well wouldn't that come down to natural selection? i mean really if a guy is stupid enough to fuck with a tiger shound't that guy die to his own stupidity?
@ratedEG and another thing is.....this is a free world.....the wild animals and nature dont belong to anything....if we have the intention of looking after these animals, why not? and some hadicap bastard from a zoo can own a tiger???pfffft fuck you goverment......
You do realize it takes hundreds of years and many many generations to fully domesticate an animal. If you think someone can find a shortcut and domesticate a tiger in a few generations...you are just as retarded as your post.
@ratedEG I totally want an owl too, but I can see wear allowing people to own animals that don't have thousands of years of domesticated history could be an issue. I mean could you imagine how many dogs are given up every year because people get them loving the IDEA of owning a dog but the realization of vet bills, buying food, scooping poop and dealing destructive behaviors makes them dump them somewhere. Well imagine that with foxes, lynxes, tigers, lions and all sorts of wild critters.
@dhruve4c dogs have never ever been domesticated you ignorant. These were wolves who got domesticated, and then wolves were cross-breeded in order to get races of dogs
seedzer, I happen to know that something like 80% of the world's tigers that are kept as "pets" are within something like 50 miles from Houston Texas. That takes care of the "where".
But you'd better be super rich and have a huge estate to consider keeping one as a pet. And have no nearby neighbors with small children. And be nuts too. But then I think anyone who would consider having a dog as a pet is nuts. If you want to make it your life's work to take care of them, that's another matter.
last time i checked animal cruelity is when you don't take care of and/or hurt the animal your supposed to take care of. which is not the case so that claim wouldn't fly. as for the tiger being in a sanctuary there are many people in the world who own tigers (the rich of course) which either have them taken care of at such a place or have the proper ducuments and facilities to take care of the animal. princesslara88 think a little more before you say things like that.
That's true....and most think that the white tiger is far more superior than other tigers. Not the case, many regular colored cubs are killed to get one white cub.-Look it up!
whyb the hell should owning a pet be illegal? because you don't like them? grow up. as long as the person who owns the pet is taking care of it and it isn't hurting anyone then they should be allowed to have one. the world doesn't revolve around you bebo635.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It is wrong to have Wild animals as pets. May I also point out that your 'pet' is a White Tiger and White tigers do not exist in the wild. They can neither hide from attack nor sneak up to hunt prey. Man has created the glut of white tigers in captivity today through rampant inbreeding. Because white tigers are all so deeply inbred, they all carry genetic flaws.
The only " dumb fuck " here is your illiterate self .. Great way to prove to the world how tough you are by cursing up a storm online , you immature piece of shit .. grow up
oh look other people can curse too . Shocked ? I know your are .
Because I've completed highschool,and am a third year university student, around 30 seconds if you must know. The internet only appears to be anonymous ColombiaJEG, its what we in the educated world like to call a "Facade." The problem is most people think it is truly anonymous and shoot off at the mouth.

It is unfair to force an incredibly dangerous wild animal to live in a cage that is 9 times out of 10 far too small for its needs and make it wear a leash and collar just so that a human can have an ego trip.

It pisses me off people who say u shouldnt be able to own a pet because its a wild animal. Dogs were at one point wild as well. I bet the first person to own one told everyone how nasty, wild and needy dogs were. Even so over the years dogs became accepted. Im not being specific to tigers but if u want to own a pet I dont see the issue. I would love to have an owl but they are illegal. They live 1 to 2 years in the wild 20 in captivity go figure. if its endangered thats a diff story.

Just because dogs used to be wild and became domesticated does not give us the right to domesticate more species of animals. Perhaps in a perfect world the dog never would have become domesticated, but it has been and now can no longer survive stably in the wild as a species. Wild species still can though, and so we as humans don't have the right to take that away from them. Not to mention owls can live for 20 years in a zoo, not in your house.

@ratedEG
A dog can be controlled and been domesticated over a course of thousands of years - no way i would feel safe if one junkie neighbour kept a tiger as a pet because he thinks they are so cool (or will make him look cool) Besides a tiger is a cat, and will have trouble being obedient (to an alpha male or owner). Even house cats as we kept for pets for equally as long has a very different attitude then dogs, and do mostly as they want.
chaotic1979 1 year ago
@ratedEG Dogs have been in captivity since BCE times. Every dog you see is from hundreds of generations of selective breeding to make them more docile or agressive to suit the needs of the owner. The same would happen with your owl, It will become something else that will look nothing like the owl you dream of having.

@ratedEG dogs were breed by humans in a hundreds of year long process which tigers werent, also a tiger will never be a pet like a dog, as soon as he gets big as 400 pounds you cant handle him, like when hes small, anymore. If you try you will always be in danger.

clearly a dog is completely different from a tiger. you cant compare the two. its wrong to keep a tiger as a pet and inside your house like a dog. its not fair to the tiger and its selfish.

@ratedEG Yeah but I think the main concern is that predomesticated dogs/wolves are ALOT smaller than tigers. I would love to have a pet tiger but its so dam big it would easily overpower me. I guess your point is valid for smaller animals like owls as you said but not big animals like tigers and lions.

Seriously? WOLVES were domesticated because in turn for helping the humans hunt, they would get pieces of the kill and a warm place to sleep. Last time I checked, a wolf can fit inside your tent-- not a fucking tiger. A tiger is more likely to snap at any second and maul your face off than a dog is.

@wart147 and still the wolf (I call it wolf now, though, they weren't dogs in that way) was a threat to the people back then. I mean, what would you think, if someone comes around with a wolf, when a wolf pack killed your family (just an example) before? And animals are able to communicate as well, so, I belive the back-then-humans were able to communicate as well, although, they weren't able to speak like we do now :)

@ratedEG The thing you're missing here is dogs have been domesticated over centuries and their descendants have been bred to work and live with humans. Wild animals have NOT been domesticated, thus the issue. And no, breeding a wild animal in captivity for a few generations doesn't make it domesticated.
People need to get themselves educated.
TTarOtaku 1 year ago
@TTarOtaku What exactly are your credentials? You jumped from "wild" to "domesticated." In between the two are captive bred wildlife. Which is what we're talking about. You might want to consider educating yourself befpore attemting to educate others. It always makes me laugh when people use an authorative tone to spout opinion as fact. You come off as very silly.
godessbast 1 year ago
@godessbast Did you ignore my entire reply for the sake of trying to appear intelligent? I mentioned captive-bred wildlife, but apparently you ignored the part where I mentioned that. Like I said before, breeding an animal in captivity for a few generations doesn't make it domesticated. Tigers will not be domesticated with just a few (very limited) generations of captive-born breeding.

@Kecenaa Foxes, wolves and coyotes are all part of the Canidae/Dog Family and are therefore still dogs. There are even forms of the modern domestic dogs (Canis Lupus Familiaris) that are wild, such as the Dingo, the New Guinea Singing Dog, the Pariah Dog and the Carolina Dog.

@ratedEG I totally want an owl too, but I can see wear allowing people to own animals that don't have thousands of years of domesticated history could be an issue. I mean could you imagine how many dogs are given up every year because people get them loving the IDEA of owning a dog but the realization of vet bills, buying food, scooping poop and dealing destructive behaviors makes them dump them somewhere. Well imagine that with foxes, lynxes, tigers, lions and all sorts of wild critters.

seedzer, I happen to know that something like 80% of the world's tigers that are kept as "pets" are within something like 50 miles from Houston Texas. That takes care of the "where".
But you'd better be super rich and have a huge estate to consider keeping one as a pet. And have no nearby neighbors with small children. And be nuts too. But then I think anyone who would consider having a dog as a pet is nuts. If you want to make it your life's work to take care of them, that's another matter.

last time i checked animal cruelity is when you don't take care of and/or hurt the animal your supposed to take care of. which is not the case so that claim wouldn't fly. as for the tiger being in a sanctuary there are many people in the world who own tigers (the rich of course) which either have them taken care of at such a place or have the proper ducuments and facilities to take care of the animal. princesslara88 think a little more before you say things like that.

It is wrong to have Wild animals as pets. May I also point out that your 'pet' is a White Tiger and White tigers do not exist in the wild. They can neither hide from attack nor sneak up to hunt prey. Man has created the glut of white tigers in captivity today through rampant inbreeding. Because white tigers are all so deeply inbred, they all carry genetic flaws.
