Krusty and groiny do have a good point. You can put chips in pets. If some dickwad wants to own big cats, he should be required to tag them. -- nm

Those pet ID chips do not transmit. You can't track a pet with them. They are there to ID the pet once it shows up at the pound or a vet clinic. - TWuG Oct 19, 10:05 1
- I know. but you can require tracking chips. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 10:05
he didn't even need permits to keep them let alone have to have tracking stuff. -- nm - decline Oct 19, 10:04 26
- and I am fine with shooting the wolves and bears..... - ghouly Oct 19, 10:10 20
  - Unfortunately, captive tigers in private hands aren't any good for captive breeding programs at zoos. - TWuG Oct 19, 10:14 17
    - Really...we're worried that the big-assed tiger with no purebred papers isn't big-assed tiger enough to screw another big-assed tiger? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 19, 10:16 15
      - Yes. With populations as low as they are for some tiger species, it is absolutely vital to know bloodlines - TWuG Oct 19, 10:23 1
        
        Estimated total of all 6 tiger subspecies worldwide is between 3000 and 5100 animals. - TWuG Oct 19, 10:27

        What kinda tiger is that? Purebred or halfbred? "It's a tiger...not a mudblood, dumbass." - Will Hunting Oct 19, 10:18 11
        
        I say, if it looks like enough of a tiger for another tiger to want to jam it, we're cool. - TFox Oct 19, 10:20 3
        
        If you want to save Bengal tigers, it doesn't make a lot of sense to breed them with Sumatran tigers. - Reagen Oct 19, 10:45 1
        
        plus as TWuG said, inbreeding is a huge problem. In breeding programs they do scrupulous genetic studies before breeding any pair. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 10:47

        would anyone really care if the T-Rex was part Allosaurus? - ghouly Oct 19, 10:19 6
        
        keep talking... -- nm - SyFy Exec Oct 19, 10:22
        
        Just imagine a T-Rexceratops with 3 horns on top of it's head. - Will Hunting Oct 19, 10:20 4
        
        Or a T-Rex head on an Allosaurus neck! No one could ever run fast enough. -- nm - TFox Oct 19, 10:21 3
        
        We gotta breed it with something with longer arms. - Will Hunting Oct 19, 10:23 2

        "What's it's bloodline?" *looks at it* "Scary-assed dinosaur." -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 19, 10:27
    - I half breed tiger is better than no tiger at all. - ghouly Oct 19, 10:15
  - something I learned a few years back: Captive big cats are "generic" and are exempt from the Endangered Species Act. -- (link) - loosilu Oct 19, 10:12 1
    - "Can I see your papers please?" nm -- nm - Po-Dunk Cop Oct 19, 10:13
- right, which is an epic level fail. - ghouly Oct 19, 10:05 4
  - Though even if he had the permits it wouldn't have stopped him from offing himself and setting them all free. -- nm - Ender Oct 19, 10:48
  - oh my. -- nm - TFox Oct 19, 10:07
  - Here, sign here on the dotted line for the 6ft by 8ft by 4ft box that's growling. Thanks. -- nm - UPS guy Oct 19, 10:06 1
    - they could smuggle one in your next hat order. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 10:07
he was responsible enough to have licenses on the bears. - ghouly Oct 19, 10:04 1
- right, and it should be required. Licenses and tags on all exotics. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 10:05
*tags this post too* nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 10:03 5
- is this the day we're going to have an intelligent discussion? I'm ready to tag that. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 10:04 4
  - you have to admit, there was enough gold in that post to back the US dollar. -- nm - TFox Oct 19, 10:05 2
    - sure. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 10:05
    - *giggle* -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 19, 10:05
  - well, I always do, so it if you want to step your game up, feel free. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 10:04
