The T.I.G.E.R.S. (The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species Safari and Preservation Station) have been going through a lot of scrutiny for quite some time now because of repeat animal abuse. This organization was investigated for various violations by the USDA, the Humane Society and other State Investigators as reported on http://911animalabuse.com/antle-bhagavan-doc/.
A Mr. Kevin Antle operates two facilities in Myrtle Beach, S.C. The report on Mr. Antle shows he has a 20 plus year history of investigations and violations for such abuse as hitting tigers, injuries, transporting animals without proper health tests and papers and containing them in areas that were too small, filthy, unsound and/or inadequate. So, when a video you witnessed the cute video of the orangutan bottle feeding two baby tiger cub, this real cuteness originated from T.I.G.E.R.S. where the reality was much darker than what you saw.
T.I.G.E.R.S. offers tourists and visitors to take selfies with tiger cubs, swim with elephants and hang out with this orangutan featured in the video. What these people fail to tell anyone is that most of their animals like the white tiger cubs are products of years of reckless inbreeding that causes the cubs to suffer from developmental abnormalities, blindness, and other serious disorders. To keep them extremely small, the animals are then kept on a strictly milk diet beyond necessary, causing them to be emaciated and have severely underdeveloped muscles and bones. T.I.G.E.R.S. only concern is monetary gain through photos and videos. However, due to this type of care, these animals could never survive on their own in the wild.
Despite the cuteness of this video that has been so widely shared on social media, we must keep in mind the abuse those sweet animals endure on a daily basis while “posing” for such cuteness. T.I.G.E.R.S. does not care about the health and well-being of the animals they seem to exploit and abuse on a daily basis. Help us in our efforts to ensure they are put out of operation as we try to save the lives of all these animals. You can help by signing and sharing this petition to ensure that these facilities and Antle are held fully accountable for all the charges and violations as witnessed and reported if found fully guilty of said abuse and cruelty of so many years.
SC Department of Natural Resources, Law Enforcement Division – Deputy Director Colonel Chisolm Frampton – Mr. Antle who operates two facilities of T.I.G.E.R.S. in Myrtle Beach, S.C. needs to be fully held accountable for the continual abuse and exploitation of animals. Reports clearly show he has been investigated and found guilty of a multitude of violations for more than 20 years, yet he is still in business to abuse and harm more animals. Someone like this should not be caring for animals; he has a poor idea of what “care” means and is only in it for monetary gain. Be a voice for all those sweet, innocent animals and stop this guy from further abuse. Either put him fully out of business of find someone who is more suited for the real, proper care of these animals, putting only their best interest and well-being at heart.
