Lion taming

Tamer and tamer inner part of the showmen. In contrast to your dress ( eg, working with horses, dogs or elephant ) work tamers with predators, teach them tricks and show off in public.

The profession is not at all dangerous, because its power of attraction is often based on the size and ferocity of the animals ( eg, lions, tigers and - most dangerous - of bears).
