I'd hesitate to pet one, though--even in a tiger sanctuary. These are wild animals and there's been many stories of tourists getting mauled unexpectedly. You'd never know with wild animals. And they're not to be blamed, either.

The same applies to any wild animal in captivity--ever see the story of the woman whose face got torn off by a chimp? |
Not only the face but her hands too.
She was on Oprah.
I like Tigers and it must have been an awesome experience, but they are wild it's always in there nauture so I would pass if I got the chance. Unless I got the chance to come into a pack of wolves that I would say yes to.
