I still think you are not answering the point that is being made... In the tiger's case, the tiger is not capable of doing to us what we did to it. In your example, the people down the street are capable of doing it to you (and I don't mean YOU specifically), so just based on accomplishment and capability, the two scenarios are different enough that your analogy does nothing to discredit the Tiger analogy.
