They have bred more than thirty white tigers, including the only five pure-white tigers in the world. They also work with the Johannesburg SA, Zoological Society to breed and preserve the rare white lions. It IS different than a circus. The animals live in a spectacular and safe habitat. Actually, if you think about it, household cats, and dogs can turn. Dogs can bite, and cats can scratch (humans or each other). These tigers are just much bigger and obviously can do more damage. No matter how "tame" or "domesticated" ANY animal is, it is still an ANIMAL, period. I don't see the humor some of the other posters seem to have found in this tragedy.
