You may say that but i wouldnt put it past some people. Just look at how people defang/declaw certain animals to make them 'safe'. Chinese zoo's file down tigers teeth so people can pose with them.

Im not implying you'd do this but you'd be surprised at what some people think you can get away with.

Ever see him without his top on?

There's a difference between a few very well put together post-production edited shots of a very knowledgeable guy interacting with a collection of wild animals.

Someone needs to be not so trusting of the TV.

A lion or other big cat is ever, ever, TAME

WILD animals always retain some degree of unpredictability.

Yeah, but every animal has come from the wild and i think that if big cats are bred successfully in captivity over and over again, they too could become 'tame'!! Also tame in my eyes doesn't mean that it won't hurt you!! A tame cat can scratch when playing and leave a cut and have you seen 'Lion Man' play with the lions... just by playing with them they could accidentally hurt him.
