They cant have a pet like tiger because when it becomes big it aims at us only for its daily food. Tigers may become ferocious. Their energy cannot be imagined when they are in the wild. So how can you even think of having such a wild animal as a pet.

-tigers are not domesticated. ie. they are Wild animals -tigers are very strong with powerful teeth and jaws. The tiger could injure or even kill you just trying to play with you -it's very expensive to have a suitable cage and enough meat to feed a tiger -and they're very expensive to buy in the first place When people do have pet tigers, they usually find out they're too hard to care for. There are lots of unwanted ex 'pet' tigers in the USA. People buy them as cubs but they soon get too big and strong and expensive to handle. Then they either abandon them at an overcrowded sanctuary [which has trouble raising enough money to care for its tigers], or they sell them to a canned hunting facility where somebody shoots them.

Tigers don't make good house pets for 3 reasons. Firstly because they would probably kill any intruder, even children, AND EAT THEM secondly, THEY EAT PEOPLE AND ARE UNTAMABLE, and thirdly, THEY EAT PEOPLE!. WHAT A STUPID QUESTION!. And mor reasons are similar. THEY EAT PEOPLE!

First thing, in the U.S it is illegal to own tigers. They are endagered animals and they are also wild. Tigers, like all aniamls, are unpredictable...but the outcome of a tiger attack would be MUCH different then the outcome of a dog attack. It isn't safe to own tigers, and that's why people don't. But hey, I LOVE tigers! I would love to own one if they could be trusted like a Labordo, but they can't. :(

It's actually legal for people to have pet tigers in the USA, although not in some states or areas.
