“ These are some really amazing photos.”
Take a look at these beautiful animals acting in an amazing way.
The Tiger Temple or Wat Pha Luang at Bua., is a Theravada Buddhist Temple in Thailand and has been a sanctuary for many endangered animals including several tigers that walk around freely once a day and can be petted by tourists.
The temple received several tiger cubs where the mothers had been killed by poachers. As of 2007, over 21 cubs have been born at the temple and the total number of tigers is about 12 adult tigers and 4 cubs.
The tigers are tamed by being fed with cooked meat to avoid giving them a taste for blood. The staff keep the tigers under control and the abbot will intervene if the tiger gets agitated. They are treated as family members in the temple and visitors are asked to give a donation if they want to take photos with the tigers.

That is just crazy right there. I'm not sure I would be very comfortable walking around a temple full of tigers! I don't care how tame they are.
ReplyDeleteAmazing stuff though.
Those are cool pictures, but you wouldn't get me to cradle a tiger in my lap. I'm with Arthur, I don't care how tame they are, that's just asking for trouble.
