What's For Dinner???


Many of you know my aversion to raw meat. I'm not a vegetarian, I just hate touching or even looking at raw meat. Thank heavens there was a guy sitting between me and the tiger guy. It really was amazing. We got in a jeepney which is like a large military jeep but this one had metal bars on the sides and plexi glass and metal for a top for protection. The first time we rode around the tiger had just been fed so he wasn't interested in our chicken. The guy stuck his arm out the window so the tiger would get a whiff of the meat but he kept to went off by himself in the grass. Since the current tigers were full and got to roam around in the grassy area it was time for their nap and 2 other tigers to get fed. We waited in the jeepney while they changed tigers and this time when we came towards them he ate happily from the jeep in front of us and ours too. As you can see, there is a hole in the bars for the chicken and the guy's arm to fit through. Once the tiger gets part of the chicken in his mouth they close the hole and then he eats the rest while the guy's hand is inside holding on to the chicken.
