Uhhh, no. That cat wants to hunt and run and mate, not lay in a cage all day. I’m fine with the current situation, but your point is likely wrong.
A tiger lives by one ethic: that might makes right. If he was free he would kill and kill and kill, often just for the sake of killing. He would kill and not even eat the prey. We’ve all seen house cats torment a mouse or a lizard; it’s wanton cruelty. It’s not like we have Gandhi in a cage.

"He would kill & kill..." The vet handling his care has said many times that a tiger like Mike, who has lived his whole life in captivity, would not know how to survive in the wilderness, specifically mentioning that he would not know how to hunt for food.The same for any mating habits. The previous Mike died of cancer, under the care of numerous cancer professionals. As a result, he died a peaceful death under controlled medical conditions. His vet said had he been out in the wild he would have died a horrible, pain wracked death.

Large predators such as lions and tigers expend a tremendous amount of energy to take prey. They don’t kill to kill. They hunt, kill, eat then chill. Tigers aren’t really even social animals.

a domesticated tiger would not survive a day left out into the wild

That cat wouldnt last in the wild.
And tigers are solitary animals.

Uh, no Mike was raised in captivity, he would die in the wild within days.
I can cite countless examples where state DNR’s have tried to repopulate wild animals through captive breeding programs that failed. The first two that comes to mind. The wild turkey and wild quail.
