This would exactly be one of my main points, actually. It is all a matter of perspective, isn't it?

Yeah. putting animals on a vegetarian diet is cruel and stupid. Cats would go blind on one. I am not an idiot.

I think the tiger would have no problems getting me before I got to it. I am not saying that in a survival sense I wouldn't try to save my own life-I am just saying it wouldn't be wrong for the tiger to do so either. I am also saying that my life is not more important in the grand scheme of the world-not that it isn't more important to me, personally.
