I wasn’t sincerely expecting you to know it was Jim. Just thought his post the other day was cool. As well as yours. Which reminded me of his.
Not me. That looks like a good way to get hurt. If you want a great big teddy bear, buy a teddy bear. Tigers can shred a human and they should be treated like they can. Even though they might be raised by humans, they still have wild in them and their fangs are big as your finger. The one I'm pictured with still didn't know how bad he could be. He was only 4 months old at the time and still had his baby teeth. There's no way I'd do that with an adult. That's a female in that picture and they can be mellower. You wouldn't, shouldn't, couldn't do that with a male...if you want to keep on living.

CutNRun, were you there when the "Deer Man" would bring deer for the tigers? I recall a N&O story where a guy from Cary had a utility trailer with a large "Deer Man" sign on it. The LEOs in the area would call him when a deer was freshly hit by a car. He would pick them up and bring them to the Carolina Tiger Rescue.

Reminds me of a story about an Elephant, think it was in Zim, but could be another country out that way. But many years ago this young man was doing some work out that way, putting in wells and helping the small communities out. Well one day he was out in the bush and they noticed a young bull elephant and it was limping real bad, was in a real bad way. This young man had the courage to slowly get to the elephant and tried to help, there was a large thorn stuck in the foot of this elephant causing it great pain. This would surely be a death sentence as it couldn't keep up with the herd and would likely succumb to the lions.
Anyway, fast forward 15-20 years, this man went back to the villages to see how his help had improved the villagers lives, and when there, he again went for a walk out in the bush.
He came across a large bull elephant, and it seemed to him they connected, almost the same spot as many years before. The elephant showed no fear, their eyes met and the elephant looked at peace with things. This man now shaking his head in disbelief was asking himself, this has to be the same elephant, and as people say, an elephant never forgets. He slowly walked to the elephant, hand out, quietly talking to it, until he got close enough and the large bull stretched his trunk out and sniffed his outreached hand, elated tears came to this man. The elephant reared up and stomped the man to a bloody pulp.
Yeah I dont think it was the same elephant either

Sorry for the delay...just saw this. I was there in the late 1980s when it was called Carnivore Preservation Trust. Most of the deer were from somebody local that called & I'd go get them. We didn't have quite so many deer then, but plenty got hit by vehicles. The cats were always grateful to get wild game treat. They could smell it before the deer got shared around. I hunted the woods around there and they'd be amped up expecting their share of my kills too.
