Bringing up Baby!

It boggles my mind to think about animals, the wild and big ones sharing homes with humans. This would be due to my presumtion that it's hard for most to rap there heads around the idea. Especially taking in a full grown wild animal versus one from near birth. There are cases where owners, and random people occupying (no matter the objective and/or subjective disposition) the animals habitual space get attacked, mauled, and killed by these animals with some resulting discussions including reasons as to why such animals rebelled, reacted harshly, or did both. I'd like to think that it's in these wild animals nature to protect and defend them-selves by any means necessary. Also that it's so second nature to them that no form of domestication can prohibit such actions of the sort whether or not if the animals had been provoked into their reactions. This writing, short story gives me ideas an opinions about 'what if?', for instance what if I lost a pet tiger, was being given, or was giving away a wild animal as a gift, or let alone lived with one. Such works of literature takes the imagination of its readers captive.
