Tonight I went to the Coastal Carolina Fair and I was horrified to see Tigers and Lions there. Apprently they were apart of Kay Rosaire's Big Cat Encounter and they travel all around doing shows and showing how they can train the cats. They Claim to be protecting and conserving species. They were keeping them in terrible conditions. In tiny wire cages. They were all pacing back and forth and people were just staring at them and yelling stuff. Right next door to the cats was a guy doing a show on stage and food stands all around. To top it off less then 1000 ft away was a "petting zoo" with ponys, zebras and an elephant. Thier prey were so close to them along with people all  eating and food smells all over. How stupid can people be? They were just asking for them to attack someone. I was too upset to actually walk up to the "stage" area but all the cats looked to be younger. Once I got home I looked up the Big Cat Encounter and I was so upset by everything on their website. They have some 19 yr old being a tiger trainer and pictures of him with a white tiger posing infront of his car. They are in direct violation of the endangered species act. They let people take pictures with the cats and they transport them around and house them in flithy sad conditions. They need to be shut down. The animals deserve the a better life. They are wild animals, they are hunters that should be in their habitat. I hope more people have either seen this "encounter" or saw it at the fair and was upset enough by everything to report it. I really regret paying money to get into the fair and I was upset I wasn't warned that animal abuse was taking place there. I hope more people feel the same way so we can get them shut down.
