I have to say, i’m not all that comfortable about treating these magnificent creatures like pets either but i would love to be able to see a tiger that close. The sad fact of the matter, however badly or well they’re being treated, is that without this place those tigers would most likely be dead.

Every species has a right to live its life in a natural way. We humans do not have any right to control or subjugate lives other than oneself. Those Buddhist monks should to praying every day to achieve enlightenment or nirvana for themselves and for all the sentient beings. Why are they sucking tourist money from controlling and exploiting some helpless sentient beings?

Care for the Wild International’s Report was in depth and well researched. Everyone especially every Buddhist should be very concerned about this cruel act by our Buddhist monks. You will find the report at www.careforthewildinternational.org

Exploitation of other sentient beings for personal gain is a huge sin. Lord Buddha sacrificed his body to feed a hungry tigress. He didn’t exploit the tigress to feed himself. Please learn from our teacher, the Almighty

This is sad. What’s the point of doing this? Just a way for these people to pump up their ego by petting a giant tranquilized cat and getting a photo to show off to their friends that they were able to get that close, like they really accomplished something. It seems so strange to me, people’s attitudes towards animals like they’re above them and don’t deserve respect. No creature or entity deserves to be kept against it’s will. Then again I guess this country’s known for it’s sex trade, including children, so why should I expect mercy for tigers.

Pretty risky.. any cat can turn on you if you pet them the wrong time and place.

I am sure they are at least well fed. Otherwise, they would be eating the humans instead of getting belly rubs from them.

It’s fun until a Tiger chomps one of the visitors.

Tigers are not pets, they are wild animals. Why do people keep trying to domesticate animals that can’t be tamed?

Someone will get killed. Count on it.

These cats are not AT ALL pampered! They are mistreated and sit in the sun all day! They say they are using the money earned from this to make a sanctuary for the tigers but it is not happening. These cats are terribly unhealthy. I have done lots of research on this place and have many friends who have been there. I will not go myself. You shouldnt eaither, BOYCOTT THE TIGER TEMPLE!
