That’s my point, 99.99% gentle is fine when they’re mostly harmless, the problem with large predators is that .01% event puts you in the hospital if it doesn’t kill you outright. A tiger’s excited pounce can break half the bones in your body, an excited swipe can disembowel. If those little kickers start going, you lose everything below the waist.
Having large predators for a pet pretty much always ends badly unless they get taken away in time.
