Is this really a good idea?

Question

First please go to You Tube and look for "Tiger Unleased on a Man". I'd put the link in here but I don't know how to.
Now, I would think even letting the tiger chew on a "pretend human" would be a bad idea..
what do you all think?

Answer 1

I don't think a tiger would ever mistake a fake human for a real one, or vice versa. Their senses area organized differently from ours. Scent and movement are crucial to them. Humans are almost useless in the matter of scent. Imagine having a nose that gives you as much information and detail as our eyes do. The fact that the dummy was shaped like a human doesn't count for much, to a tiger. And this tiger sniffed the dummy all over before attacking it. He knew it wasn't a human or any kind of animal. It was just a toy, from the tiger's point of view.
