WHAT.

Y’know, I scrolled past this and thought to myself, “yeah, this is pretty cute, but I’m not gonna reblog it.”

Until I saw that last gif.

BIG KITTEN

Seeing a lot of comments about this being a pet, and according to the source video he’s actually not a pet, this is a video from 2008, the tiger cub was named Jonas and that’s a zookeeper from Bowmanville Zoo from that he was with, they had to bring him inside (only at night) because he was on an hourly feeding schedule and then he’d spend the entire day with other cubs!

even if that’s true this still completely unsafe. a tiger should not be free roaming around a house with a person. there’s food and beer bottles around. even if he needs to come inside at night, he doesn’t need to be in the zookeepers house where he could easily injure the zookeeper or eat something he shouldn’t.

Tfw when they’re zookeepers who’re literally trained to know what’s best for/how to handle the animals more than someone on the internet but whatever my dude

you really think that it’s totally safe for a tiger to be freely roaming inside a house (again, with random junk and beer bottles laying around) just because a (apparent) zookeeper is present, huh?

@why-animals-do-the-thing @zoologicallyobsessed can either of y’all help me out here if you’re able because… i don’t know how else to plainly say that it should just take common sense to realize a tiger inside a house like that is unsafe

I mean how do you explain to people that having a literal wild animal that can and will kill you in your house in unsafe….

The person being a zookeeper is irrelevant, that’s a wild animal not a pet. Tigers like this that grow up, after being handled / in contact with keepers, end up killing keepers. Because they are not domesticated pets they are wild animals. 

And these keepers are horrible for putting this shit online cause it lets the public think this sort of stuff / treatment of wildlife is okay or safe. When it’s anything but. 

Everyone on this thread trying to say the above is okay is obviously clueless and i suggest not talking about things you clearly have no idea about because you spread your dangerous and incorrect opinions onto other people.

ignorance is contagious
