Baker, R.
Husbandry guidelines for the tiger
2006  Full Book

Tigers are always to be considered dangerous. You should never be alone with a tiger when in close proximity, even when they are under anesthetic. You should never attempt to physically handle a tiger. Never enter a tiger enclosure or den unless you have checked that they are secure elsewhere. Never cross over the warning line around dens or exhibits when a tiger is in residence. Any locks should always be double checked by another keeper before bringing an animal into a den and after putting it out on exhibit. Do not handle cubs unless you have double checked the mother is secure.
