Hi, I train tigers for movies, and I know in NC, you can't own tigers unless you can prove you are using them for education/entertainment purposes. To start getting a licence will cost you $50,000 seeing as you need, state, federal, county, fish &wildlife and more licences to own one animal. while you may get a licence from one, you'll never get them from all. How much research have you done on tigers? Do you realise that it'll cost you close to $1 million to house and feed a single animal for it's lifetime? you have to meet strict codes of conduct and standards and are checked every 6mths. A 6mth old tiger can weigh 180lbs and can be lethal. Can you handle a 350lb animal? 'cos that's the min weight one will be... also white tigers in the US are sold with many health problems due to severe inbreeding. I suggest you visit a facility that has these magnificent animals. There is one in Myrtle Beach, Sc.... write for more info.
