Lion or tiger cub as a pet

But, just as soon as he is old enough to possibly kill and eat the neighbor's dog ( or their children ) I would give to to someone more capable of tending to him; a zoo or animal sactuary prearranged.

 

If  all the necessary bases could be covered - strictly hypothetical - it would definitely be a blast. Kevin Richardson and
Dave salmoni - for example - have experienced the type of bond with their lions and tigers respectively that warm the
heart. There are countless examples in the U.S. alone, of people successfully and unsuccessfully , who have given it a
go. There was a video a while back, of two Brits who bought a lion cub, raised it, and gave it to George Adamson of "born
free" fame for successful re-entry into the wild. Some time later they venture to Afica and find their now fullgrown lion
and the happy reunion was captured on tape for all to see. I fully understand thats the exception and not the rule.
