Zhejiang: A Chinese zoo has been criticised for allowing visitors to pet – and even pretend to ride – a tiger. Tourists at Wenzhou Zoo can pose for pictures while they pretend to ride the tiger, reports Wenzhou Metropolis News. The zoo has daily big cat shows, and invites visitors to come up and touch the tiger after a 20-minute performance.

Three men keep an eye on the tiger while a fourth takes photographs and a woman charges 30 yuan (£2.85) a time for taking the pictures. The woman insisted it was completely safe as the tiger was tame and its teeth and claws had been filed down.

But a tourist said the practice was “incredibly dangerous.” “The zoo shouldn’t allow a tiger to pose for pictures with people, for both safety reasons and for animal rights,” he said.

The sad thing is when the Tiger flips out and kills somebody people will blame the tiger... not the people hosting the picture sections.

This is a little clip from Joe Rogan on tigers, the whole stand up is hilarious this is just a segment. Joe Rogan Talking Monkeys in Space

I've been around tigers that would probably just rather lick you to death than hurt you. In fact, even though they're still "wild", I wouldn't have a problem being in a pen with 2 out of the 30 or so that I've been around in the past. The problem with what that zoo is doing though, isn't a controlled environment that they can predict what will happen. Big cats often flip out for reasons we don't really understand...they may get extremely protective of a rock or clump of dirt and fight to the death to protect it...reasons you and I wouldn't understand. Given the right circumstances and life though, I'd trust a big cat 9 out of 10 times easy...

Hmm - wonder where I have those pictures...I'll post up some if I can find them.

If this is China's other way of controlling the population, its not good.
