Scientists think that there are only 2,000 or 3,000 wild tigers left. Why are there so many pet tigers? One reason is that the price of a baby tiger is quite low, sometimes just 500 dollars.
Unfortunately, tigers don’t make very good pets. Caring for a big cat is very expensive, difficult and dangerous. As baby tigers, they may live inside with their owner, play safely and look very cute. However, when they grow up they cannot be trusted. They still want to attack and bite like a wild tiger. According to big cat trainers, only 1 in 8 big cats can be trained sufficiently to have contact with humans. That’s after training by a professional! For this reason, nearly all pet tigers llive in a cage.
Because they must always live in a cage, the life of a pet tiger is sometimes unhappy. They must be locked away so their owner can clean the cage and feed them. It is not safe to touch the tiger. Pet tigers are most often kept for show rather than for companionship（陪伴）. Is that the kind of pet you would want?
88. There are more pet tigers than wild tigers in the U.S.A, aren’t there?
89. How many wild tigers are there in the U.S.A?
90. What might be the reason that there are so many pet tigers?
91. If you have a pet tiger, what should you do to stay safe?
92. Why do most people keep pet tigers?
93. Would you like to keep a pet tiger? Why or why not?（Give at least 2 reasons.）
