There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Seeing the friendship some trainers and keepers have with these animals makes me
yearn to experience it. I enjoy the the thought of it.
Just make sure you have the land for it. I'm sure it would be a wonderful, and heart pounding experience. As far as risks ? You have a greater chance of being maimed/killed/mauled by a pitbull, than you do a captive big cat. The only problem is being able to keep the big cat fed, and insuring it stays happy.
