Natural conditioning

Human behaviour is definitely a mystery till now and it is always so enticing to study. But the living behaviour is even so more difficult to comprehend. And the importance of conditioning cannot be overseen while studying living behaviour. In a certain monastery in Thailand whose name I had never known, the monks breed tigers!!!(of all the animals). They (of course the monks-not the tigers) belong to that Buddha school of thought which considers that the behaviour (of living) is pre-dominantly influenced by the food that we eat. So by making the tigers eat green food they are trying the tigers to forget their devilish instincts. But what makes me wonder is that is it really so possible to inhibit our natural behaviour which includes our natural desires to be overtaken by just conditioning. Well if it is so, then I guess we all can definitely be much better human beings and be humane instead
