Regarding the lions and elephants, I don't think it will go over too well. Reintroducing bears and wolfs are one thing but bringing back species that have been absent for thousands of years?

You missed another thread I was making reference to.

Ted Striker has always been quick to defend himself, whether you consider me left, right, middle, or upside down. PErsonally I think all those labels are wack anyway.

Not really. These people take these animals out to photo ops all the time. They are constantly around people. Basically, they drag a couple baby tigers and young tigers around for photo op money to support the rest of the animals in the shelter, though I wonder whether the shelter doesn't exist so that these people can have a supply of animals to take around for photo ops to make money.

There is no reason to acuse this girl of doing anything stupid, especially when you don't know all the facts. I am surprised, however, that they had her with an adult animal instead of the cubs.

BTW, I've stroked a baby tiger before (probably from this outfit). They have very wirey fur. It wasn't very enjoyable. The wife has a pic with a baby lion cub. We got it in Mexico, so I suspect the lion cub was tranqed.

doesn't matter. It's still a wild carnivore. Some animals can only be domesticated so much...

It's an unfortunate accident. But people have to realize there are risks in life. She chose to take the risk of posing with a wild animal. It is unreasonable to expect her to do activities such as this and never have any risk.

I'm not sure if I worded that right. Here's a 2 word summary. Sh!t happens.

Elephants aren't predators, so they seem to be relatively safe to introduce into North America.

Of course, we still don't know what they will do to the plants, and more importantly, to cities. Right now they have coyotes and such roaming the streets of urban areas. Imagine when you get elephants hanging around on highways.

That´s the only good elephant out there. The truth is, that elephants are goddamn stupid animals that destroy the environment and should be all put to death

It may not have been well taken care of.
