At some point - from someone - you will probably receive the email at the bottom of this message.  Or, you may receive a clip of TV reporters swimming with tigers, or a chimp "raising" white tiger cubs, or even adorable photos of cross-species friends like an orangutan befriending a dog.  These all come from the same organization – T.I.G.E.R.S. – and it's a marketing ploy they use to bring money and business from unsuspecting customers. 

 

Please don't become an accomplice to animal abuse of the worst magnitude.

Whenever you receive an email concerning the organization

T.I.G.E.R.S. (Institute of Greatly Endangered Rare Species), based in Myrtle Beach and Florida,

DO NOT FORWARD IT

This can be one small way you can help save 100's of abused big cats.

 

Doc Antle, a/k/a Dr Bhagavan Antle, the proprietor of T.I.G.E.R.S., supposedly received his "credentials" in China.  He has said that he needs a supply of 200 tiger cubs per year just to fulfill all of his global photo ops and animal encounters at fairs, malls, and other exhibits. 

 

Please ask yourself, where do all these cubs end up once they are fully grown?

 

Doc Antle is a major supplier/consumer in the exotic animal trade.  If you abhor puppy mills, you can only imagine the major abuse that takes place in the loosely regulated business of big cat exhibition. His breeding of an unnatural species, a liger (the mating of a lion and tiger), as a profit center is the ultimate statement of abuse, though.  A liger is a manmade species that suffers tragically.  To learn more about ligers, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKYILLEdy5s  The last line in the email says it all when they refer to Hercules, the liger, as "this thing."

 

YOU CAN STOP THIS ABUSE
