Wait... has someone declawed that thing? That's horrible! :(
Somewhat safer for humans near it, admittedly, but still don't approve of mutilating animals.

Meh... drugs wear off (and it IS a tiger!)

If you gave me sedatives before a medical procedure without warning me, I'd probably forgive you.
If I woke up and discovered you'd amputated the first joint of all of my fingers... I doubt I ever would!

Tiger claws are retractable in that ligaments hold them in a protective skin sheath when their not being used. The ligaments are in a relaxed position when the claws are retracted thereby expending no musculature effort. Tigers retract their claws to ensure that they remain sharp for times when they are needed and to tread silently up to unsuspecting prey. Other ligaments will extract the claws when attacking prey or defending themselves which does require musculature effort.
