+258 When people have wild animals, such as tigers, for pets, they don't deserve pity when they are mauled by their "pet," amirite?

You are correct, but you still have a danger with a domestic pet such as a cat or dog that may be crazy... or that just likes to hurt you.

Wild animals shouldn't be kept as pets.

Does that mean if you're a smoker and you die of lung cancer people shouldn't mourn your death?

There's a difference between taking an animal out of its home for your own selfish purposes and feeding an addiction that's ruining your lungs. The animal has a heart and brain and emotions and instincts, and it's stupid to thnk that you can just take it and throw it into a cage in your living room. However, if you want to smoke, that's your own decision and yes, it may be hard to stop, but it's all in your hands. When your wild pet attacks you, they're doing what they were innately taught to do, and what would you say if you were kidnapped? When you escaped, would you be like, "Oh, that poor kidnapper, he doesn't have any children locked in his basement any more DX" I would hope and assume you wouldn't.

I'm not trying to say it's a good idea to raise a wild animal as a pet, I agree it's a foolish and terrible thing to do. The point of the comparison was that both smokers and people who raise wild animals, know that there is a significant risk.

Ah. Well, that's different. But I don't know. I mean, if you know what kind of risk you're placing on you, the animal, and everyone in your neighborhood, do you really need one taht bad? Also, why do you need one so bad? Why can't you get a cat or dog, or a domestic lizard? As far as I can see, it would be "cooler" to have these wild animals as pets. But I don't know, I've never had that kind of mind.

Just because I have a AWESOME Tiger as a Pet and you can't have one doesn't mean you have to be Jealous.

I wouldn't be jealous. I would just laugh at your stupidity of keeping an unpredictable wild animal.

As I said before I'm not jealous. I'd just think that you are a pretty ignorant person.
