I've decided I want to invest in a living tiger to keep as a pet. Approximately how much do you think I'll have to pay for this, and how will delivery/purchasing work. Does anyone here have experience buying exotic animals before?
I'm interested in buying a tiger, how do I go about this?

Fresh out of tigers. How about a donkey painted up like a zebra? Much better investment. You'll break even in a week. Not responsible if customs catches on tho. My stealth is good but this IS a fucking donkey we're talking about here...

"I'd like to buy and own a sentient being and even though it may have natural instincts, I would like to repress those instincts and urges for my own personal enjoyment. At least, during those times I can be near it. Or when I am showing off my trophy."
Seriously, we are talking about a living breathing creature that feels pain and emotion.
Please do not do this.

Oddly enough, I know where you can get virtually any animal you'd like. My old roomate has a capuchin and a 60lb snow leopard. PM me it you're interested, I can point you in the right direction.

Most people pay an arm and a leg to own a tiger, but often they pay with their lives.
They don't make great pets, consider a rare well bred dog or horse if you have the cash. Something you can show off, train and enjoy without the risk. Tigers are very risky to rear because of their strong prey drive and space requirements. If you keep yourself clear of injury, the loneliness is akin to torture in pack animals.

I've worked at a wild animal refuge. Tigers are not domesticated and they aren't pets in the traditional sense. If you don't have years of training and experience dealing with them you have no business owning one.

If you live in the US, you shouldn't have a problem getting a tiger. I watched a dateline where a breeder in the southern us was literally giving away tigers. They went undercover and were inquiring about a tiger and the breeder said Hell if you got the room take 2. The tigers were free of charge too.

what are you a 5 year old? or some uneducated piece of shit Arabian prince who inherited a lot of money? put that shit to better use lol, get a hobby or 2 if you don't already have one, or just give me the money. I sincerely hope you get this tiger and it rips your balls off and your face, and i hope you live through it... oh and i don't give a shit about tigers, i just hate idiots..
[2 Points] Kimsatyyello:
Fuck you asshole! I hope it kills you! Their not pets. I don't care who the fuck you think you are but a tiger doesn't care. It's cruel, horribly cruel to own an animal you cannot take care of, not only with nutrition but also exercise properly. This is animal abuse.

I'm not one to judge but It you actually get a tiger I hope it grows up and eats you. Animal Planet would probably make a TV episode about your story it buying a tiger on the dark net that grew up and ate it's master just like how house cats are plotting to kill their owners

Hahaha...hope you're not serious. You know how sometimes your cat will just bite or scratch you for no reason? Big cats do the same thing. That's why everybody I've ever seen who takes care of a pet tiger always has a bunch of huge nasty scars all over their body.

just something to think about, but I bet owning a tiger would nullify your homeowners policy. I don't think they'd want to be on the hook for your pet eating a neighbor

I hate for you to keep seeing replies that aren't helpful, but I hope you get what you're looking for just take care of it!!! =O

I'm sure there is a way to get them, last year I remember the story of the crazy dude who had tigers and monkeys, let them all out (over 30 animals I think) then killed himself. The cops shot a few of the animals. I think you need a license.

You can get past a dog but nobody fucks with a tiger.

You might try reaching out to a somewhat shady/broke travelling circus? They could probably get you in touch with their (probably shady!) Breeder. Better to do in person than over the internet.
I am HUGELY against you buying a tiger. Someone mentioned rare dog breeds -- get a Tibetan mastiff!! That said, and I realize this is completely anecdotal, but there seem to be a number of rich middle eastern men with all kinds of big cats who seem to really care about their owners. So, make sure you have a ton of space, make sure you have an inground pool (I'm serious!) And, maybe, get 2? (Don't get a male and female, or, at least not the same breed - seriously there is a very slim chance you'll be able to handle them, but the chance that you'll be able to find people who can handle the babies you'll inevitably sell/give away is zero -- DON'T BECOME A BREEDER)

If you are serious, i would recommend you find some dark net market/general forums that are for any type of service. I have visited things like these and you truly can find WHATEVER you want. It shouldn't be to hard just do some research(try the darknet version of reddit if its still up) and then post an ad saying you want a tiger. I remember seeing some exotic animal ads on delta initiative forums(it got taken down) so it is definitely out there.
