Tigers belong in the wild not as pets not as photo props not in the circus. 95% of tigers are privately owned. The life of these tigers begins when they are born they stay with their mothers only a couple weeks then they are taken from her. Then they are used in photo props for fairs, malls, roadside zoos etc. They get little sleep because they are always being held. The flash from the cameras hurts their sensitive eyes. When they grow too big and less cute they are sold as pets. Soon as the tiger grows they will become aggressive and their owners will confine them in small cages outside. Worse they could be sold to canned hunting where hunters shoot exotic animals in confined cages for trophies. There are an estimated 5,000 tigers that are privately owned in the US and only 3,200 tigers left in the wild. What about being a circus cougar that is chained up and forced to do tricks and if he disobeys he if whipped are beaten. Big cats are becoming extinct just because people want them for entertainment , Chinese medicine or pets. This is indeed animal abuse and we need to demand it to stop.
