chartpolski 23,924 Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 My vet in Saudi was a Scot’s expat, a great vet and a great bloke. When we had a drink around the pool at his place, he would bring out his pet lion, which was a bit disconcerting, but it was huge but harmless. A Saudi had brought it in to be put down, it had been de-fanged and de-clawed, but he had got bored with it. The vet gave it a good home, it ate huge quantities of meat, but was a great talking point at parties ! Cheers. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Welsh_red 4,651 Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 I seen a documentary on vice about Arabs and their pets . One guys friend got attacked by his pet obviously . You wouldn't catch me anywhere near a tiger or a lion . I don't care how tame their owners say they are or how well behaved they are I wouldn't be anywhere near one unless there was a massive cage between us . That thing decides it wants to play rough a bit and before you know it your missing a scalp or part of your arm . Everyone has been around a cat that purrs when you stroke it but sometimes can't help itself attacking your feet when it's bored. Their same thing but massive 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I took the kids to the tiger temple in sai yok years ago, the temple had over 100 tigers, some huge, the monks used to let you take them for walks on a chain thick enough to hold the Titanic, an English girl was attacked while walking one I heard and almost lost her leg.

Must be a scary way to go though according to some of the books i have read it seems a quick death to be taken by a man eating big cat. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
