I read this not as a challenge but as an actual plea, because you know you won't be able to stop yourself if one day the opportunity to pet a tiger appeared
weeelllllll, you can do the slightly drugged Tigers in places like Thailand, ketamine and fed I assume before you're allowed to pet them? because you're not petting one any other way ...at all.
As to the ethics of that, welllll, we destroy their habitat and have nearly made them go extinct and that seems perfectly acceptable, soooo. Just to be clear I have not done this personally.
you have to be the right kind of zoowarden. my friend who works with the elephants never gets to bring any cool animals home. a friend lived next door to the big cat lady and she brought home a cub any time they had one.

...but what if I go "psspsspss" and the tiger comes up to me?

Then they are either very cool or you are very dead. Either way, worth it.

If dangerous, why fluffy and friend shaped?

Someone messed up and put "not" all over this picture, other than that though it's a good guide

But consider: which of the tiger's appendages can you yank for amusement if you're a gibbon?

I really want to pet a tiger though. Even if its the last thing I do

Its nasty to do that to a tiger, but if people want to feed me, get me high on ketamine and pet me I'm fine with it.

Rawr I'm a tiger come capture me, Thailand

Pet a cheetah instead, they're chill.

Big kitty. Must pet anyway.
TheStaffmaster@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 8h
A well fed tiger is not that dangerous. If you keep it that way it might even let you give it snuggles!
snoons@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 15h
You definitely can but it takes a long time and you have to say "chhfchhffchff" not "psspsspsspss" because that's not tiger language.
Essentially you have to be around when the liger is born.

You can't tell me what to do!
I still have seven of my fingers left from last time!
DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org · 4 pts · 11h
There's one place you can pet it still. You'll never guess where.

Anyone else now thinking of the scene in Red Dragon where the blind woman does a little sneaky "turn and cough" check on the sedated tiger?
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de · 3 pts · 10h
The spot on his back just before his tail looks like fair game. My kitty also likes that spot, but mostly wants face pets.
