Lion taming is the practice of taming lions, either for protection, whereby the practice was probably created, or, more commonly, entertainment, particularly in the circus. The term is also often used for the taming and display of other big cats such as tigers, leopards, jaguars, cheetahs, and pumas. Lion taming is used as a stereotypical dangerous occupation due to the obvious risks of toying with powerful instinctive carnivores.

  • Lion taming is the practice of taming lions, either for protection, whereby the practice was probably created, or, more commonly, entertainment, particularly in the circus. The term is also often used for the taming and display of other big cats such as tigers, leopards, jaguars, cheetahs, and pumas. Lion taming is used as a stereotypical dangerous occupation due to the obvious risks of toying with powerful instinctive carnivores. Lion taming is performed in zoos across the world, to enable less dangerous feeding and to bring more profit by holding programmes like cub petting. Note that taming an individual lion is not the same as domestication of a species.
  • Dompteure (und Dompteusen) gehören zu den Schaustellern. Im Gegensatz zu Dresseuren (die z. B. mit Pferden, Hunden oder Elefanten arbeiten), arbeiten Dompteure mit Raubtieren; bringen ihnen Kunststücke bei und führen sie öffentlich vor. Der Beruf ist durchaus nicht ungefährlich, denn seine Attraktionskraft beruht oft auf der Größe und Wildheit der Tiere.
