While most people spend their golden years relaxing in their garden Janice Haley chooses to hand feed the two man-eating tigers she keeps in hers. Saber -- a 600 pound white Bengal male and Janda -- a 400 pound orange Bengal female live in a cage at the back of Janice's unassuming suburban home. Each day Janice, 57 hand feeds the gentle giants and Saber -- the baby of the pair - can't get off to sleep without suckling on her finger. She happened upon her extraordinary life around 20 years ago when she quit her job as an admin assistant to spend more time working outdoors. After spotting an ad for a tiger training course in her local paper she applied and two years later arrived home with Chuffer the tiger cub. She was immediately BITTEN by the tiger bug and in 2002 bought Janda -- who is now 12 -- to live with Chuffer. After Chuffer's death in 2007 little Saber -- who was only two weeks old at the time -- was introduced to the enclosure -- much to the annoyance of Janda.
Well, that's partially true, but what's your solution then? The tigers are waiting to die? Yeah, but they are also being well fed and they are actually appreciated and cared for. They socialize a lot, even if it's with humans. In this situation, I think they are having the best they can have. One could make the exact same argument for any pet/domesticated animal. A dog is just waiting to die, but that's not the only thing happening in its live, is it?
Agree. I was actually even thinking about that too for my own dogs lol "waiting to die". But they are happy overall because they know my family loves them and as long as we take them places and give them as much love, socializing, and action in their lives, they won't be depressed and in a one place cage. Animals are so pure, aren't they? I never can understand why people want to hurt them (trophy hunting, dog eating, fur trade, etc.) , it's sick.
no a predator is a predator raised in captivity or the wild. It doesn't matter if it hasn't been in the wild it is still a tiger and she thinks that because it affectionate with her that she has taken the wild out of it. You can take a tiger out of the wild but never take the wild out of the tiger. YOU CAN NOT DOMESTICATE A TIGER NO MATTER HOW MANY TIME S you hand feed it take it for walks what ever she is still an idiot for treating it like a pet.!!!!
