Petting the Beasts

[scorp]

That's neither awesome nor cool or anything but plain stupid...

There's just no point - unnecessary stress for the fish + potentially damaged slime coat.

not to mention the serious wound the piranhas could inflict.

thank you for your concerns but I know the risk that I am taking when doing so however nothing feels better than living on the edge. Its kinda like petting a lion or shark on a smaller scale. The feeling is amazing you can really feel the power from these guys. Respect of nature.

dude that is so true, i know what you mean. i always push it to see how far i can go. between messin with snakes, gators, and snappers. theres is no bigger rush. but you learn how to anticipate what the animals going to do. its like u can sense it. haha right on

I went to a private zoo in Cullman, AL once. I saw this woman petting a tiger and telling a group of 8th graders that he was, "just a big pussy cat." I watched that tiger bite a hole all the way through the palm of her hand the size of a half dollar. It latched on to her arm with its claws and tried to pull her in the cage. Took a whole group of handlers to get the tiger off. You could see the the displaced tissue that was inside her hand hanging out of the bottom of the gaping hole. Her arm was shredded like it got caught in some kind of machinery. She was bleeding everywhere. Honestly, I felt bad for the tiger. It's bad enough we take them out of their natural habitat and confine them to a little cage. It's an altogether different thing to disrespect them.

Just my .02$.

Neat trick though.

Damn I feel bad for both of them! I pretty sure she knew the risk she was taking and that, that bite didn't leave her away from tigers for long. She must have cared a lot for them to take that kind of risk.
How people choose to manage their risk in life is totally up to that person. As for me I say "No guts No glory you only live once" hehe you can always minimize it through Knowledge. Animals will be animals and I agree that they should be respected and not caged up however I believe the tiger is near extinction and people are trying to maintain and increase their population.
