tigers are my favorite animal and it would be a dream come true to be able to play with a baby one...or a midsize one

or any tiger

Answer 1

There is a zoo in South Africa - gauteng - Johannesburg called Laurie Park Zoo. They generally let you play with their baby tigers or lions if they have.

Answer 2

I'm sure there are lots of unreputable establishments where they hand rear tigers in order to make money from people playing with them, depending on what part of the world you're living in.

But think about it. You obviously love tigers, so would you really want to be responsible for stressing out this poor scared baby? Would you like to be the justification for removing it from it's mother? This can cause all sorts of problems for the cub, health problems, from not getting it's mothers milk, instead relying on a formula at a vital time, and social problems; not having the social skills developed by mother raised tigers. It may never be able to be properly reintegrated into a group, not knowing how to relate to other tigers, and so what happens to the poor thing when it get too big and dangerous to be kept as a "Pet" around humans? Put down? or dumped in a cage and left there wonder what it did wrong and why it can't come out and play any more? Tigers should know they're tigers, not think they're humans.

If there was a situation where a cab was rejected, and was genetically important enough to conservation efforts to be hand reared, the keepers would use methods to minimise the social impact of doing so, and I'm afraid this wouldn't include letting people who don't know the cub just turn up and play with it.

Answer 3

um not sure where, but you should study more about them and become a biologist/zoologist. then you would know that you shouldn't be playing with them they are not petsthey are wild animals and they belong in the wild

Answer 4

hhhmmm they are not toys, u know, even cubs can be dangerous. I would say it would be a bad idea.
