As long as it's not YOU who is at risk, why bother? Really, people do a lot of dangerous things, perfectly being aware of the risk. I think as long as there is no danger to the public, that's not really a valid argument.
Or, trying to get back to the main topic, the habitats of humans and tigers being so close together, is a much more relevant risk to BOTH species than the whole pseudo-ethical "tigers as pets" situation.
The only thing that bothers me is that people try to keep exotic animals as pets without the proper knowlede or resources. The risk is known, and this should be up to them, and not us. Otherwise, you could as well outlaw all other dangerous activities (skydiving, rock climbing, formula one races).
