8. Exactly.
Unfortunately, this tiger will likely be "put down", because it will now be considered a danger to humans.

The exploitation of animals, wild or domesticated, by humans - simply for the sake of human "entertainment" - should be criminalized. I just can not wrap my head around the idea that these people think it's perfectly fine to raise wild animals in captivity, to be used for entertainment, and when an animal does something that is completely natural and instinctive to it, they destroy it.

I am sorry for this guy, but the risks involved when working with wild animals that are capable of killing humans with little effort are well known, and he was aware of this, I am sure.

It should be criminalized, period.
