YOu had a smashing honeymoon, I am sure, and the tiger experience must have really made it that much more amazing. That is also the reason you will stoutly defend the position that it is better to have an obedient, dog-like tiger, than a dead tiger.
While these monks are doing their bit for conservation, I am sure, how do you think the tigers become obedient and tame? They are also smacked around a bit, which is not really all conservation, I think. While conservation is a fantastic thing, it is essentially about creating an environment that allows the animal to survive on its own, not creating a spiritual circus.
