That's actually pretty cursed, big cats that you can pat at "tiger temples" are usually given heroin or something similar to sedate them.

We did this at the Australia Zoo where they don't sedate and instead expert handlers try to keep the tigers attention with sparkly objects.

The mining company I used to work for that had operations in SE Asia supported a charity that rehabilitated them and had a big guarded habitat that they could retire to and eat goats in peace. We had a few presentations from them showing what the company's contributions were doing for them. Stuff that comes under the heading of "Corporate social responsibility" is mostly masturbatory, but the people from the charity seemed really genuine and grateful.

I pet a babby tiger at dreamworld on the Gold coast about 20 years ago. They were all tuckered out from their walk around the park, not drugged.

Whenever I order something and am not there to accept delivery, I get a little note telling me to come pick it up at the local distribution centre. Can Americans not do that for some reason?

I don't know about all americans but here if you live in a rural area you get a little slip when you first move in that lets you choose from a few different options. You can have stuff left on the front stoop, tell them a specific place on your property to leave the package, or tell them you'd rather pick it up at the post office. Again, that is here and america is loving large and things work different everywhere.

FedEx tends to be the worst for me. I live in an apartment complex, they could just you know, take it to the front desk, but instead they'll leave it outside my building, so I've come home to several packages that have been soaked by rain.

Oh yeah, the fedex is bad but I was just talking about the USPS specifically. Private carriers just do what they do and really don't ask you.

FedEx is the only one that consistently fucks up my delivery instructions and just seems to try to make life difficult in general. Like, I clear something cheap to be dropped off without a signature? NOPE, I get the doortag and a late delivery. "Please leave on side porch"? Nope, just put the big-rear end box on the sidewalk in front of my door where everyone can see it. Pick up your missed delivery? Sorry, it's in the next town over til tomorrow, why would we leave it at the delivery center where you live??

Doesn't UPS also treat their workers far better than FedEx? I know that you can't always choose your carrier, but I never pick FedEx if I can help it.

Every once in a while you see a youtube vid or gif of some russian dude cuddling with this pet tiger or mountain lion and I think holy poo poo do I ever want a pet tiger or mountain lion.

Then I think of the odd time one of my boring rear end house cats get mad and bite/scratch me and remember that if they were 90+ lbs I'd probably be dead by now.

Still, it'd almost be worth it.



BIG KITTY CUDDLES

I nearly got some big kitty cuddles last night trying to get a conditioning hike in so that I'm not winded by snowshoeing later in the season. My fiance and I were surprised to encounter 2 or 3 cougars heading back down on the trail we were hiking up. This was not a game trail but a maintained trail on a very popular mountain. I told her to start walking down, then picked up a couple of rocks and started making noise with them. One of them appeared on the ridge above me, so I threw one of my rocks at it and it disappeared. Needless to say we didn't continue up.
