Okay, I worked at the temple this was taken at. All these tigers are either rescue cases or cannot be re-released into the wild. It's kind of a moot argument. The monks aren't fake. If you really want to see animal abuse you should have seen the tigers before tourists were let in. They used to have to eat rice, because the monks were too poor to buy them meat. It's awesome that you got to pet a tiger man.

I know exactly what's going on. I've lived here for close to twenty years and I see daily how Thais care for animals. Not all Thais are cruel, but it would be fair to say that most would do whatever it took to make a few Baht if they could. These 'monks' are fake and they're making a ton of money off of morons who think they're doing something nice. thaiwildorchids(.)com/tiger-te­mple-abuse(.)htm

Its kinda sad to see them chained up. Atleast, build them a large enclosure where they can roam freely. These animals deserve a lot of respect.

@JosKiddin umm yes, id rather be chained up sometimes and bored rather than needing to constantly be alert because my life depends on it. do you people not understand that their NATURAL homes are fun-lala lands. you break a bone...you die, you bleed..you attract predators and either die or hurt yourself more and then die. you get sick..there is no medicine..so you die. drought happens and no water...you die. ever watch discovery? seems like half of newborns all die soon after they are born.

@Ghettofarmerboy Yea cause animals would much rather be chained up with foreign creatures petting them then be in their NATURAL homes. And their is factual evidence of animals in zoo's showing signs of boredom such as sleeping , laying most of the time and chasing their own tails.

Here is the truth about the evil you are supporting at Tiger Temple: cee4life dot org/tigertemple.php

The abbot of the temple is evil incarnate.
