7/9/2004: Pigs on tiger

You know one day, when all the kids are watching, one of those little piggies is going to get ripped clean in half by a swat of the paw.

All seems a bit...unethical to me, I was under the impression that zoos should attempt to create environments as close to 'home' as possible, not fuck with their heads for our amusement.

Yeah, I wonder how adorable and amusing it would be if the tiger's instinct suddenly kicked in

. On the other hand, it's nice of them to provide meals that aren't scared of the dining patron. Makes 'em easier to catch.

Otherwise, that IS a cute picture!

Some how I missed that zoo, must have had my mind elsewhere.

It's cute now, but watch out piggies when that tiger gets older!
