Little Tiger

Where is the picture taken Api....?

How old is it,

I took that picture at Kanchaburi in Thailand. I'm not sure about the age but not more than 6 months I think.

These are receiving a lot of bad press in the UK ,it appears a lot are stolen from the mother who is then shot.
I could give my comments but would rather not.

I agreed with you. Many hunters try to hunt for their fur, head and in China,the chinese like to eat them.I don't like as same as you but the place that I took that photo was temple. The monks helped its mother and she gave baby tiger there. There are 30-40 tigers in the temple. This temple is the place where help and take care of the tigers. You can notice that how happy it is....it smiles and feels safe. And the important point is....it stays with its family.This place is not like a circus.Every monks and everyone treat the tigers with mercy.

I am pleased to here it is well cared for,I am seriously worried for the species survival together with many more wild creatures through out the world.
One question what happens when the tigers are to large to play with they canot return them to the wild.Can they.

Yes, actually this temple is located in the valley,in the jungle so the monks seperated the area,one for people who go there and the other for the tigers.
The history of this temple is very interesting,the chief of the monk, he helped the tigers and the tigers loved him.Incredible but it's true.The relationship between human and animal is so beautiful...so beautiful.
At the first time nobody knew this temple except the people around there but now many people come there to see the chief feeds the tigers, big tigers.You know,in every morning the chief walk into the valley to see the tigers in the jungle and the tigers that stay in the temple follow him like a dog and he will go back in the evening,when the tigers come back ,the tourist must stay in the safe place where the monks arrange for them.Some tigers stay in the temple and some tigers stay in the jungle.There are two little tigers that the people can touch them but the others cannot.

Thank you for the reply Quite incredible,the location should not be to well publicised otherwise you may have undesirable visitors.

Thanks Api for the story. Very interesting.

You're welcome. Bjs...your dog is very cute,he or she? I have 40 dogs in my house I kept them from the street , not in one time.....many times.They always make me laugh by their action....lol.
In Thailand there are many stray dogs and cats.They are not security especially dogs because they are the expensive product for Vietnamese people. They eat dogs.
Not only animals that I love.....plants and flowers too. So it's the reason that I like this website.Because the members love in the same thing (smile).
