I've always had a fascination with exotic pets. A lot of you may assume I am joking, but I currently have the opportunity to purchase a male Siberian tiger cub. I am contemplating on whether or not to obtain and domesticate it; but as you would imagine the general consensus is this would be a bad idea. That being said, I feel like this stigma is largely due to the negligence of a few who weren't able to adequately care for it.
I've already done extensive research on safe keeping (proper enclosures, diet, etc) and I guess I'm looking for one of you crazy motherfuckers to side with me on this so I can feel reassured in my decision if I actually do go through with it. Keep in mind, I would raise it from a cub to minimize the possibility of unpredicted aggression. And as crazy as it sounds, I wouldn't be the first person to do this. Mike Tyson literally lived with his 3 tigers, and many others have seemingly pulled it off before.
Would anybody else here do it? Is it really unethical if it's getting the care it needs?
