    That’s basically the same thing as what they said though.

    And let’s be honest, if a tiger was capable of farming livestock, it probably would.

      Tigers are big cats, hence they are like their little domestic cousins, lazy as fuck. I doubt tigers would enjoy having a job.

        Tigers aren’t as smart as you think.

        If they were smart, they’d do what their domestic counterparts do - make themselves masters of a family of human slaves. They’d be much better off at the price of a few purrs.

          Tigers are too big and dangerous to humans to be good candidates for domestication. Cats are just the right size to not be much of a threat.

      Sure, but that right is in question. Being a part of the ecosystem is fine, animal or human (which is an animal). It’s when we destroy the ecosystem to satisfy ourselves where I question the right to do so. It doesn’t matter what the animal is, except we’re the only animals capable of doing so.

        We are destroying our only home for fake shit. The only reason we do anything is for fake made up money.
