The thought of feeding live animals to tigers seemed OK, though they are solitary hunters(you guys get the idea), so it's still wrong

But to feed them just for the entertainment of people is completely wrong

Hunter draws on Inuit knowledge; fends off hungry polar bear with punch in nose
http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/canada/...22494.html

Wes Werbowy can still see the polar bear's head pressed up against his tent's mosquito netting."I wish I could find an artist to capture this image in my mind," says Werbowy, who survived a recent up-close-and-personal encounter with a polar bear with the help of an old Inuit trick."It is burned into my brain — the eyes peering and the ears flat and the head about as big as a bushel basket jammed right toward your face."There was just this implacable stare for a thousandth of a second. And I thought, well, it's my day to die."

That's actually incredibly cute. Koalas are cute until you find out they eat their own shit.
