Living With Tigers

People have the right to bear tigers. But I don't think open carry should be allowed.

Concealed carry can also be a bit problematic.

[NineBerry]

Sorry, I mixed that up. People should have the right to tiger bears.

Completely safe. Exactly like walking a large dog. No need to cross the street. It'll only draw attention and tigers can outrun human beings very easily.

Except that it's four times the size of a large dog. And dogs have had thousands of years of breeding to be less dangerous. And Cats are much more powerful than dogs, and have needle sharp claws.

I would back one tiger against eight large dogs any day of the week.

This is that recurring nightmare I keep having. Some idiot keeping lions or tigers for pets.
A tiger can kill you while it's only playing.

TIGER, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,
And water'd heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?

Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

I mixed that up again. It is the little bear and the little tiger.

[mistermack]

I can't bear tigers, personally.

That's why I try to avoid them.
