After you've shot it?

[nw_hunter]

That's the way I would pet it, If I wanted to pet one.

[Mule 11]

I saw that. Somebody is gonna pay big for that retard. Probably insurance.

[Mule 11]

After you've shot it?

That’s the only way I’ve been able to pet a deer.

[phalanx]

That kid was an idiot.

[Dee]

It never occurred to me to pet a wild bobcat, much less a tiger.
I've only been to 3 or 4 zoos in my lifetime.
I found even the so called "good ones" on the disgusting side.
Especially the bears and elephants.
They looked miserable.

Monkeys will attack and hurt you also. One did to my little brother. Bit his nose almost off. And it was a pet monkey.

Zoo’s suck. Hard to expound upon that.

   Only young and foolish men, mess with dangerous animals.  That being said, I once grabbed a hippo by his big lower tooth... or is it a tusk?
'
  How many can say that?  ..'Course, I could have lost a hand.  As I said.. "young and foolish'....

My Dad taught me early to not touch a wild animal unless I had shot it.
And to then poke it with my gun barrel and not my foot.
A squirrel can dart up your pants leg in a flash.

   Good advice...advice we regularly taught in hunter safety classes..

There is generally a price to be paid for ignorance.  Don't be surprised if the cop is punished for killing the tiger. It seems that in today's twisted society animals have been put on the same pedestal, as humans.

That's what I'm wondering.

Remember Travis the chimp? Attacked and beat up that Lady, then was eating her face off. The police had to take him down also.  That lady had to get a new face from a cadaver. And lots of plastic surgery and meds. Travis never hurt a fly? Is what his owner said. They say that about Pit Bulls also, after it malls a child.

Watch out for the family jewels if that happens lol. Squirrels like nuts.

  For some, animals are due more mercy than  are people..
 
   So often we hear of somebody lamenting the death or injury of a dog, cat or muskrat..and that in itself is OK..
 
    ..But we often find that same clown all in favor of the abortion holocaust !

Sad, but true.

[Dee]

Sad, but true.

It is for a fact.

But really, any fool should know better than to try and pet a tiger.

But what about another piece of often overlooked wisdom, which is: never polk at an old man. Especially when hes smilin, doesn't seem to care, and ya can't see his hands.

Grandpa told me about that'n, and it turned  out he was right. 

[phalanx]

And he might be a retired Navy Seal. That’s happened before and it didn’t turn out very well for the crook.

[DDZ]

I'm sure too the narrow fencing will be called into fault, and he will probably win millions in a law suit. In America anymore there is always something or someone to blame for your actions. No matter how stupid or ignorant you are.

Doesn't take a Navy seal to teach a lesson.

 A can of pepper spray  would have solved the problem .

Even sprayed a dog or cat, or a tiger with pepper spray?

If it works on Grizzle Bears , why not .

[Dee]

It works on grizzlys "sometimes".
I've sprayed high end pepper spray on dogs with no reaction at all. I've seen men sprayed with the nastiest of pepper sprays, and they laughed at the officer and asked for more. Then take 2 or 3 officers to get'em cuffed.
A bullet in the right spot works every time.

When I was little, my grandpa shot
a squirrel with a shotgun and went
to pick it up, and it decided it wasn't
dead enough and took a big groove
of flesh out of his hand and arm.
When I wasn't much older, I learned
the old fashioned way that you
didn't stick your thumb in a big
catfish's mouth the way you did a
big bass to get it in the boat.
JMHO- I don't give animals a
chance to harm me if I have a
way to prevent it.
People that diddle with dangerous
animals and don't learn anything
from it pretty much get their just
desserts

Its kind of like the ignorant people in Yellowstone park that think because they are in a park the bison, and bears are tame.
