      what's b.s. is that the film claims no animals were hurt during production. I'm sure I heard Weird History disclose that a couple of cats were lost to the flood, and three lions had to be shot after they escaped. I guess the filmmakers don't count these incidents because cameras weren't rolling when they happened.

    I have a regular, domestic, house cat. He is a very sweet and friendly cat. However, he often shows his affection by grabbing onto a person's feet, legs, hands or arms. The "minimal" claw grabs are usually accompanied by superficial biting... but he's only a small house cat. Big cats, even if raised from cub age, can be just as friendly, but that affection is a lot more damaging.

    • @spooniesarah
      @spooniesarah 3 года назад +35

      That's one reason why we haven't domesticated big cats. As you said, a "mauling" by a housecat will earn you a scratch, maybe an infection from said scratch, but the "mauling" itself won't be deadly. Plus, there's a theory that domesticated cats aren't truly domesticated, that they're just wild creatures that we have come to a mutual understanding and agreement with. An Itty-bitty wild cat is pretty harmless to us, especially when they have decided to work with us. A large wild cat like a lion, well, it doesn't matter if we have come to a mutual understanding--they're killing machines and we happen to be prey-sized, so even a very friendly lion could accidentally kill their person

      @@skyden24195 house cats know they are mid-tier predators. When my cat has her zoomies, she likes to be chased. She'll play pretend that I'm a predator chasing her and she's gotta run away to avoid becoming my prey. So this probably plays in our favor when we humans choose to collaborate with small felines vs large ones. Large cats are at the top of the food chain, and would be above us when we aren't armed. They know this, so they won't have any issues with viewing us as an alternative food source and definitely will not pay us the same kind of respect that our pets give us. (Yes, cats are divas and act like entitled royalty, but they respect our position as a higher predator)

    That was crazy! In 1992 I adopted a cougar from Shambala - Tippi Hedren's Preserve and used to go there once a month to visit the big cats. It was a blast and Tippi was always there and so nice. Poor Melanie Griffith - can you imagine acting in that at 17?

    Some people should never be parents. Roar is a great lesson on the whole working of an industry from a filmmaking point of view and from a financial point of view. I'd use it if i were a film teacher because it does cover what is bad parenting, bad filmmaking and bad financing on one reel.

      But you probably respect that wild animals aren’t supposed to be treated as pets and that their natural behavior is to be respected. Sure, save a cub and bottlefeed it if needs be, I’m all for it. But as much as one want to think he’s like a dog or cat now, they’re now. Only rarely will a tiger or lion remember “their” human fondly and play with him like he did when he was a cub. Most still get mauled if they think they can just walk up and think: hey dude, remember me?

Might need to go elsewhere to find answers. Humans usually have a choice about whether or not to participate, but untrained animals usually wind up being subject to extreme adverse stimulae in order to make them do something. That director had a 'hold' on the psychies of his family cast and crew. What was it? 🤔🙁
