Tigers as Pets?
Watching a CNN story, the reporter said that over 15,000 people in the United States keep tigers as pets. You can buy a tiger for less than $1000.00. What? An endangered animals can be bought by any yahoo who wants to use it as a virtual penis enlargement tool for $1,000?
In a country where some states ban owning ferrets and some communities disallow pot belly pigs, how can ANYONE think having a tiger is a good idea? DUH.

I agree with you 100%. People want to be able to say "yeah, I have a tiger" like it's a staus symbol. Personally, I see it as a stupidity symbol.
Let's see, I think I will buy a 700 lb carnivore that eats 10 pounds of meat in a sitting. Even though he can crush my bones with his jaws, I think it's a good idea. If I can't keep him in the house, I can build some crap ass enclosure out back. If he escapes, someone will shoot him, but that's more exciting than getting a domestic cat.
Damn fools.
