| These days all of the animal industry from conservation to cat sanctuaries is a business, and there is nothing wrong with making money. BUT can't it be ethical?
In "Lions, Tigers and Scams" I take a look at the cub petting industry. This is one of the main reasons why there are so many unwanted big cats filling up the few good sanctuaries/rescues in the US. For the money this industry brings in, one would hope that it is going to actually help the cats or save them in their natural habitats, but it isn't. I think it is possible to have a sustainable wild tiger population in Asia, and that we can protect tigers from people, and locals from tigers.
A true sanctuary is a place that does not breed, sell, or pull baby animals from their mothers to be dragged around from State Fairs to Car Shows and all places in between for the public to hold. They sell this off as entertainment, and maybe it is for some, and maybe we no longer care about the welfare of the animals involved or the bigger picture? But I'd like to think we do. These dealers and breeders bank on our ignorance and that is wrong.
And for a new report by WWF/Traffic on the captive tiger go to:

The entertainment field also dumps its animals into sanctuaries for an excellent documentary go to:

In my research, I found many places claiming to be sanctuaries. How to spot a good place so your money is donated wisely.
(The majority of zoos and sanctuaries are NOT accredited and have nothing else but a USDA license.)
A good sanctuary will rarely have to rescue cubs. Adult tigers are dumped and baby tigers are mostly sold or traded. A good sanctuary won't have a web site filled with picture of its members holding baby animals and hanging over adults cats. A good sanctuary will be involved in getting better legislation to protect the welfare of the big cats and some are involved in conservation efforts to protect the wild cats in their natural habitats. But as seen even in a few accredited zoos that dropped SSP managed breeding programs, to showcase money making white tigers, you will find poor ethics in the "sanctuary" world as well.

I would support accredited NON tiger breeding places like Wildcat Sanctuary (MN), PAWS (CA), Cederhill (MS), Big Cat Rescue (FL).
(*A recent report about the Chimpanzee showed that people didn't recognize it as an endangered species due to seeing it used all over in media, films, ads, etc.. and I feel this is happening with the Tiger)
I would, in my opinion, not support places that have cubs all the time, or just poor tiger ethics that put a strain on animal welfare.
Places like Great Cats of Indiana (IN), Great Cat Adventures (OK), T.I.G.E.R.S. (SC and FL), Horseshoe Creek (FL), G.W. Exotics (O |
