Next Men's Best Friend ?

If you think your dogs or cats could not impress your friends anymore, well worry no more because you can have tiger to prowl your backyards & make your friends go WOW !  The only problem is you gotta be pretty loaded to have tiger as your pets.

Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) is a subspecies of tiger found on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Recent genetic testing has revealed the presence of unique genetic markers, which isolate Sumatran tigers from all mainland subspecies. Currently, there are only 400-500 Sumatran tigers left in the wild.

Its’ an exclusive initiative that disappoints and encourages at the same time, but for the rich, who have always fantasized about owning a rare Sumatran Tiger prowling in their backyard, it’s a dream come true. Under a unique proposal, the Indonesian government would be allowing the rich to adopt this rare animal for 1 billion Rupiah ($107,000 / RM 374,000). Deforestation and hunting has led to severe culling of the numbers and with just 400 big cats alive today, the government hopes that the initiative would protect these animals from near extinction.

The tigers will remain state property and will be returned to the state if they were no longer wanted. Any cubs the tigers produce will be the property of the state. As the conservationists are left scorning at the strange proposal, orders have already started pouring in from the rich who in the deepest of their minds have yearned to be called the big shots; courageous and powerful as the Sumatran Tiger.

Expensive ? Of course ! But look at it this way, you could buy 100 or more Siberian Husky with this kind of price but imagine how much you gotta pay every month for their foods alone ? In the long run, tiger is much cheaper to maintain and at the same time you save this species from extinction. Hmm, provided if you never get swallowed by them as their lunch of course ! Om nom nom nom nom nom ...

Hey ! Not all wild animals are bloody meat eating carnivore ! The proof is in this video clip below, check it out !
