Who says Lions and horses and tigers can't get along? If you ask me, this is just another example of that fabled Chinese patience. Can you imagine how bloody long it must take to train animals like that? Of course, being China, they might have just super-glued the tiger to the horse or something.<br/><br/>Interesting though how the article, from the UK if I recall, spun this into a sort of "the barbarous Chinese are at it again" thing. After all, we westerners only abuse our animals when absolutely necessary, like in Rodeo or Bullfighting, or snake handling, or adventure show making, or for turning them into 99 cent "snackers" at various fast food joints.
