    Default Poll: Should I pay?

    Is this a good deal?

    Feeding, fussing, playing with a full grown male white Bengal Tiger called Blizzard including photographs of the experience (and I can shoot my own videos). Here he is...



    ...Anyway, Hammerton Zoolological Park in Cambridge charge £185 (€274 $351) per person for this priviledge and I thought it might make a real nice gallery for the cat site which would be a bonus.

    Would you?

    Not a cat in hells chance would I part with that sort of money for that! But that's me. LOL

    That's an awful lot of money, and all you get is one souvenir photo? If you have that sort of money spare and this is something you've always wanted to do then go for it, but I think it's expensive.

    ahh yes but.... The cats in India will eat me without a second thought, at least Blizzard is used to humans, plus its at least 4 times the cost for a return ticket to India plus the other expenses :)

    It isn't all about the photos although getting my cameras in would have been a bonus as far as my website goes.

    The money doesnt really bother me, its about the experience and the money will goto to zoo animal upkeep which cant be a bad thing.

    I think I might still have a go at this, even without the pics and video I still get to feed the beast.

    I would do it without even thinking twice.. The white tiger is majestic.. In my books, I would be willing to favor a photo with that creature than an entire film with Bush, Blair, Howard and a dozen bimbo models..

    I SAY.. GO FOR IT.

    I will, I think I definitely will and I totally agree, wouldnt have my photo taken with Bush or Blair.

    Got to ask though Carlos.... How come the white Tiger is so majestic and beautiful but the whale is worth kiing simply because it tastes good? Mate, I consider you a friend on this forum honestly.. I am only asking because I cannot get the way you are thinking LOL :) :) :)

    Sorry, what I mean is... Would your view on Tigers being majestic change if you had tried them as a delicacy and enjoyed it?

    heheheheeeeee <controversial Rob strikes again> LOL

    That's a fair question Rob.. And although it may appear conflicting, my statements have never been so in harmony... Just like the Tiger, the whale too is a majestic creature.. they both deserve respect and appreciation for the role they play in keeping this world, or what has left of it anyway, in tact.. In the same manner I respect the whale, even though consumed by humans, I respect the Tiger, even though it is responsible for many deaths of humans, especially in the India Forest Villages.. They are both majestic and mighty, it just so happens that they are positioned differently on the food chain.. The whale can be eaten.. The tiger is sometimes forced to eat humans.. They both have good reasons.. one is a consumable kind of meat, the other has been invaded by humans, who so arrogantly, but stupidly, put themselves on display as easy prey for a hungry beast.

    LOL ooops Im sorry I started a war between my man EZ and my gal Bee LOL LOL

    Ahhh Carlos.. would it be true to say thought that both the whale and the tiger are in fact below us on the food chain given our intelligence and technology so... Surely both majestic creatures are edible? hehehehe

    Some people in the east are known to have fed themselves on cat.. Thats what caused the Sars virus ;)

    Rob.. You are a top bloke.. and that is vibe that comes accross very clear in your philosophy.. There is so much that can be said and debated in respect of this topic.. But you know what..?? It will ultimately come down to one thing.. what each one believes, and how strongly they adhere to these beliefs.. I honestly wouldn't eat a cat even if it was the only way for me to breath.. And the Sars Virus is a well deserved reward for those who ate the cat.. Mother nature is such a powerful system and wont let foul behavior go unpunished.. Hence, I agree with eating whales if you get my drift.. i.e, no casualties.

    The one thing I am sure you feel the same about as me, Even though I disagree with your view to death, I will fight to death for your right to embrace and declare it.. and because you already do.. you deserve nothing but respect.

    All good points :) you are right my friend, each to his own, definitely :)

    <firm handshake>

    And yup maybe a debates for people with a higher uunderstanding of these things than us.

    Im just looking at it differently.. No casualties? Most species of Whale are endangeredm they are the casualties. My point being, yeah it suits us humans because it might be a tasty dish and we dont get harmed but it doesn't help the whale population. I speak from a preservation perspective.

    :)
