    Might do some more investigation on this topic I think...


    It is a scam and a travesty. One of hundreds of big cat scams around the world and who suffers - the cats.

    See my links above and look around the internet. Big cats shouldn't be kept in captivity anyway, but especially in places like that.

    Elephants in Thailand are in the same boat - used, abused, tortured and deprived of all that is natural to them. You'd think it would be obvious to people: an animal that naturally lives a solitary life in a forest is kept in a bare and barren enclosure with tens of other tigers, no stimulation, and obviously drugged out all the time so that people can get a precious photo with them. Insanity.

    There are organisations trying to stop these things from going on, but the more tourists go and give money to the animal abusers, the worse it gets.

    People need to investigate before they go on holiday.

    There is also a facebook group for the cause:

    thats why you should always do some research and if you can not find any then you must make a judgement call, and sometimes it can be wrong as with this example

    Fuckers....I love animals and this shit pisses me off. I will have to donate more to the Animal Welfare League now as I feel bad that I have supported this in some way.

    Why not donate to real organisations who are trying to save wild tigers, not breed them in captivity for profit:

    I shall do some researching later on..... but this paragraph taken from the Nat Geo finding from the Temple.

    No Confirmation

    As for illegal trade, Samart said "there is no confirmation that the temple has been concerned in the dealing of tigers."


    I do not tolerate any animal cruelty of any kind.... but I have to see the proof first. SHall be looking at all the links from that facebook page this arvo.







    Anyway, before a sticky gets locked ...... did anyone get a email from 10C yet? bout tix? pre-sale? GA? 8-)

    Even if they aren't dealing in parts (but it is highly suspected that they are), the abuse is enough to warrant a boycott and action against them.

    As for emails.... i think you know the answer to that :lol:

    My man is a Reverand Father......and besides the amazing things he does for me ;) If I could be bothered, I could talk for days on all the fantastic things he does for the homeless etc etc etc.
    He's certainly not ur stereo typical priest. Tattoo'd from head to toe, swears more than anyone I know - he's one of the Priests that are there to kick the churches up the bum! LOL! He's a Jesuit.

    Weird hey...I remember the Fiona from NZ mentioned in the above link and she seemed really genuine. Would seem strange her supporting something if it was supposedly that bad.

    Hard to know what to think as the tigers in the wild are being hunted to extinction so (good) sanctuaries are almost the last hope.

    Who knows what to believe as many probably have hidden agenda's behind what is reported.

    Nope.. "sanctuaries" do nothing to conserve tigers.

    The majority of people have no idea whatsoever of what really goes on in the name of "conservation".

    haha....yeah :)
    I confess (haha...get it - confess :lol::| ) that I was pretty ignorant to the 'good ones' before I met my man. But....as I said - he's pretty different to what most picture a 'Priest' to be :)
