I like large cats, but Non-domesticated cats have a natural wild streak that could come out at anytime. Making it dangerous to keep as a house pet. The many years show tiger Siegfried and Roy used turn on them back in 2003.

I figure he must have had his claws done, if he was having his arms around you and decided to change, you'd be hard put. Even the back ones that they use to disembowell...Quote:

Her parents gave the dog to friends in the country.
I still say it should have been put down, even told them so.
Why take the chance of someone else being attacked?
I cringe when I see people stick their babies face to any animal.
Again, Why take the chance?
It's still an animal.
I laugh at people when they say, "No, my dog will do this or that"... I say, "No, he's a dog, he'll do what he wants"... History until now, then history changes. It's a dog...it's an animal.Quote:

If it happened once, it could and most likely will happen again. I'm with you, put it down.Quote:

Yup... Except you can speak to your kids. And they can reply in a language you can understand, most times...Quote:

I helped move the dog out to his farm where he dispatched it.
Sad really, wasn't the dogs fault, it was how he was raised. A dog so strong 2 of us could barely hold him off.
2 things:
1- A animal should never be fully trusted.
2- Some people shouldn't own pets.
