awh thats lovely!!!! Other sanctuarys could not thats why!!These are loving creatures That obviously can adapt to humans,Through spending time with them from the begininng, They just have a bad name for harming humans because of the wild( a fight for survival) Most of the tigers when cubs were rescued from death. Also because of the buddhas beliefs these animal should get better treated than any other animal base.buddahism is a strict religion and if you don`t follow your out!

Agreed with fastfist. There is a sense of truth in what you speak, however, there are also the people who truley care about these animals, they are also the people behind the scenes you dont see.

[fastfist99]

A true animal sanctuary anywhere in the world will NOT allow their animals to be handled. However, places that want to make money and exploit animals have no problems in exloiting animals for money by using them as photo props. Do you really think it is not stressful on the animals to be constantly handled by humans. If you do then you are someone who cares about their own experience only.

This is just another example of people caring about their own experiences more than they do about the animal's welfare. The tigers at the temple are beaten and mistreated daily. They are also illegally traded to and from Lao PDR. Think about what happens behind the scenes.
