[FEL-L] San Francisco Animal Handler mauled by Tiger

[PureRaine at aol.com]

The tigers get 3 to 5 pounds of horse burger a day, plus horse-knuckle  bones 
for snacks, blood-sickles with animal parts, and an 8 lb roast size horse  
meat. All the lions and tigers get a whole dead rabbit on Tuesdays and Fridays.  
The male lions get 4 to 5 lbs of horse-burger, the female lionesses get 2  to 
3 lbs - because they are considered overweight. All the cats get snacks of  
small horsemeat for daily co-operation. They rarely get a variety of different  
food, they once got a sheep for the big cats.

I'm curious about the small amount of food these large  felids are fed. The 
article said 3-5 pounds each? I feed more than that to my  wolves. Our tigers 
and lions get 20-25 pounds of meat. Perhaps the tiger was  trying to get more 
food? A tiger cannot possibly be satisfied with only 3  pounds of meat.
