Ryofire Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I don't know if anyone is familiar with the Tiger Temple in Thailand, but I often hear mixed stories about it. Aparently to my knowledge, it's suposidly a "refuge for endangered tigers," or something along those lines. They live with the budhist monks in "harmony" and "peace." However from thwe videos I've seen on youtube and the pictures all over the internet I doubt these people are treating the tigers very well at all. I've always been a big fan of Tigers, and I'd really hate to see them be mistreated. So for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about here's an article form wikipedia about the tiger temple http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_Temple. Here are some of the videos I've seen on youtube: I thought we could simply discuss this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryofire Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 I see, but from what I've heard about threw different sources, other than the ones I posted on the forum, they drug them, use tranquilizers, etc. Not to mention that most of the time they are tied down by chains and put in cages. If you ask me it sounds alot like Ringling brothers circus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryofire Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 And the value of having an unnatural tiger in an unnatural enviornment? Basically the Tiger Temple is a tourist attraction. These animals are not supposed to be domesticated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
