[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can’t you ethically put in a live goat with a tiger?[/quote] It causes a lot of pain and distress for the prey. It can take awhile for a prey animal to die, and often it’s vicious. Know how your dog loves to play tug? That’s how wolves and painted dogs kill prey - everyone grabs a mouthful and pulls until the animal is ripped apart. Often they eat it while it’s still alive. Keepers and zoo visitors love animals. They don’t want to see an animal suffer. Plus there is potential for things to go wrong. Prey animals fight back and could injure or kill the zoo animal. The prey animal could be maimed but not killed or eaten, and now you have this injured animal laying around dying for hours or days. [/quote] As if zoo officials wouldn't step in and not allow a maimed goat to lie around for days. And presumably a tiger would eat the whole thing solo seeing the zoo hates to keep naturally social animals together. [/quote]
