Animal cruelty at the Kanchanaburi Tiger Temple in Thailand

This is the 2nd attempt at the Tickle A Tiger Challenge and this time we visited the Tiger Temple Sanctuary thing in Kanchanaburi, Thailand.

This is our personal opinion...

The Tigers were out of there furry little faces on whatever sedative drugs are used to stop a wild beast ripping the heads, arms and legs off of 1000+ visitors a day to the place. For once, we'll be serious here... The animals were quite clearly drugged.

DO NOT VISIT THIS PLACE! Quite simply, it's an animal cruelty tourist trap!

@jahankavaasi When you are there you don't have to look very hard to find the cruelty and very strong vibe that something is definitely not quite right

@MrCpocpo obviously you don't have the slightest knowledge about a tiger's diet: you can only enter after lunch because that's when they are full...and what happens when you're full? YOU GET TIRED AND SLEEP! gosh even in the discovery channel you see tigers sleeping around in the afternoon AFTER THEY EAT!!!

you're stupidity is insulting to mankind. go back to school!

Its funny how these white ppl critisize the good work of tiger temple. The visitors are allowed to generate income to take care of the tigers... These tigers were orphaned at a young age and was given asylum here. they cannot survive in the wild.. So the weterners first worry about animal cruelty of KFC and animal slaughter houses and wipe their own crap first...

We went yesterday and have to agree with the original posters. These tigers are absolutely sedated. It is really sad, actually. I'm all for their rescue and saving as many endangered species as possible, but these tigers are drugged throughout the day so that they will lay there and allow hundreds of tourists (yes, us included) to touch them and take pictures of them...
