hi

well the afore-posted photo needs no explanation - this is the tiger temple in thailand -abt 3 hrs from bangkok- u get 2 literally walk with the tigers (abt 30-odd) , pet them , put their heads on ur lap, catch a tiger by his tail and feed the pups. at first i was so hesitant- 200 kgs of pure , fluid , graceful muscle, canines that could rip ur carotids in a millisec and hunting instincts honed 2 perfection over aeons- do i need 2 mess with this? but the buddhist monks have really taught them tolerance. the only sad note- this is the king- born free and should be forever free! not on a leash- even my dogs dont have 2 bear this indignity! but all in all an awesome experience- silver lining- mebbe a gene pool for the future? note- only male tigers were out- perhaps the tigress can really never be tamed - all males pl note!
