Tiger Tug of War

What do you guys think of this? I see this as a Tiger just playing with a rope but it seems to me to be just another case of Man wanting to beat a big cat. I don't think it sets the right precident for respecting big cats at all; I do not believe it is about learning to respect their strength, it's all about can I beat them......not good in my eyes.
There are 3 videos at the bottom of the article, the first two really demonstrate that the people want to beat the Tiger and the last one I think really shows that the Tiger is just playing with the rope. I think the Tiger is the innocent victim in a really silly and stupid game.
Just my thoughts you may all think differently.

Humans at it again, I wonder at people's thought process sometimes!

I am not sure tug of war with a tiger is either entertaining or proves anything except that we are remarkably stupid and the tiger is finding something to do, as it is probably bored out of it's socks being stuck in a cage
