being made to act like harmless performers of stupid tricks until their natural instincts take over and they attack someone Sigfrid & Roy's tiger who picked him up because he fell just like it would it's baby. Only his skin wasn't thick and hairy like an animals.
I guess you wouldn't approve of the two dogs that sleep with us every night either.

LOL - yeah, I read that incredibly silly explanation by Roy after the tiger sank its fangs in his throat. Some info: female tigers carry their cubs - males (like the tiger that attacked Roy) have no interaction with cubs, except to kill them. Also, female tigers carefully pick up their fragile cubs by the back of their necks, not by clamping down on their throats. Biting the throat is how tigers kill their prey. The tiger's interaction with Roy was a clear example of a tiger striking down it's prey and dragging it away to seclusion - in the wild, the tiger would have then fed.

Your two dogs are the end-product of thousands of years of domestication and selective breeding for docility and obedience. They also don't have a fraction of the killing power of a tiger, let alone a killer whale in the water.
