THIS IS NOT A SANCTUARY.

THIS IS NOT A SANCTUARY.
I have had nightmares after witnessing the horrible abuse that goes on here to raise tourist dollars. Don't go here and don't pay them a cent!! The tigers are drugged and chained to the ground where they lay in the searing heat throughout their lifetime while tourists are led around to have their pictures taken with the poor miserable tigers. I was there in March, 2016, and it definitely has not been shut down. There were a few Cubs that the tourists could pay extra to pet but as soon as they became too big to handle (which isn't very big), they too would be drugged and chained to one spot on the baked ground.

Additionally, there are several types of animals; wart hogs, deer, sheep, cows, etc, around the tiger area that are clearly intended to be the tiger's dinner. These animals had absolutely nothing to eat and were attempting to chew on anything they could find but the ground was grazed so short that there was nothing but dirt. The pigs were so hungry that they were trying to eat the plastic water bottles left behind by tourists. The other animals appeared to be actually eating the dirt. The volunteers were more concerned about the pigs making a mess then their hunger.

I feel so strongly that I have to do something to help these poor defenseless animals but I don't even know where to start. Please, please, don't patronize this horrible place and tell your friends likewise.
