Many people in Dubai treat tigers as pets. How did they become so obedient?

Last year, there were two tiger wounding incidents in Ningbo Zoo and Badaling Zoo? Two accidents, two people died. Their ignorant behavior made life disappear, which made Bian Xiao feel sorry, but he was also amazed at the tiger that had been kept in the zoo. It was so wild.

Tigers are huge. Adult males can reach more than 3 meters in length and weigh more than 300 kilograms. What a king of beasts! But even so, there were such a group of farmers in Guizhou in the Qing Dynasty. Because there is no Niu Gengdi, what should we do? One, two, three, four, five, go up the mountain to catch tigers.

This is no joke. The wisdom of farmers is inexhaustible. An encyclopedia named "Qing Bi Piao" records a group of farmers as crazy as Qing Dynasty. They domesticated tigers and directly raised them as livestock, instead of catching young tigers, they directly became adult tigers.

Then how did they do it? Don't panic. Let me translate the classical Chinese that recorded this matter, as follows.

First of all, farmers set traps in the mountains, put the tiger back in its cage, starve for a few days, and then feed it. Tigers are carnivores and eat at least 10 Jin of meat a day. Of course, it is impossible for farmers living in poverty to feed them meat, but to feed them with a lot of grain mixed with a little meat. Shame is a small matter, and hunger is a big thing. The poor tiger had no choice but to change his diet by force.

Long-term vegetarian diet makes the tiger's physical fitness decline, and this time it is cruel. The farmers worked together to knock out all the teeth of the tiger with a hammer and pull out all its claws with pliers. Then continue to close the cage and feed it only grain, not even meat. Naked abuse, today, will definitely be shot, but after all, this is the Qing Dynasty, and we emoko have no tiger rights.

After a while, the tiger was put back on the mountain, but it lost its sharp teeth and claws and could not catch animals. Even if it is caught, it cannot eat.

No choice but to give in and go back to the farmer's house. At this time, the tiger is much more obedient, trained to understand people's intentions, and it is only a matter of time before plowing.

The book also records that tigers plow more fields than cows. Tigers are strong and diligent, and buffaloes are gentle, but they will not move unless they are driven away. Worthy of being the king of beasts, he knows everything.

At last, the article depicts a beautiful picture. It's the evening of one day. Cattle and sheep come down, and tigers are mixed in the field. It's impossible to guess whether the cattle, sheep and tigers are coupled together. It means: go home at night, cattle and sheep come back in parallel, and tigers are among them. Without doubt, we went home together.

What a docile tiger, but this practice can't last long. After all, tigers are carnivores, and they don't have the enzymes needed to digest plants. If you are a vegetarian for a long time, you will only become more and more embarrassed and eventually die. So this method was soon abandoned. After all, it was still a dynasty where the tiger turned its head, and taming the tiger itself was a very dangerous thing.
