Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

But in that zoo is even bigger tiger - 5yo amur. I estimated him to be 270 - 280 kg. I asked the owner of the zoo (private zoo) and he made the same estimate. But he has not been weighted, its just an estimate. Unfortunately I dont have a photo of that tiger (I saw him standing only for a while and he lied down before I could make a photo).

I talked with the owner about his tigers and lions...he said that he is going to sell his tigers, he would like to breed only lions (and leopards and other smaller felids). In fact he strongly dislikes tigers - he said that tigers are intelligent, but also sly, insidious and agressive.

He bulit his own zoo because he likes animals (with the exception of tigers). If your qeustion points to breeding farms, well this is certainly not the case.

STATUTORY WARNING: Contains usual animal abuse





"They know he is in trouble and needs help and they want to give it to him."



Big cats trained for the circus often face a lifetime of punishment from trainers - but these tigers wouldn't let that stand in the way of checking on a friend.
Back in January, a circus performance at China's Hangzhou Safari Park went awry when one of the park's white tigers reached his breaking point. Tired of being prodded with his trainer's whip, the tiger grabbed the tool in his teeth and dragged the man back across the stage.

As a clip of the incident shows, eventually the trainer releases the whip, sending the tiger stumbling a few feet backwards into a water-filled pool in front of the performance area.
The other trainers can be seen in the background cracking and waving their whips to keep the other tigers in line. But as soon as the first tiger falls into the pool, one of the others breaks rank and runs over, apparently to check if he's OK.

The second tiger touches noses with the one in the pool, before realizing the trainers are closing in on him - he appears to cower, cautiously pacing back and forth between the two approaching men. One trainer appears to hit him with his whip, driving him back into the performing area.



However, a few moments later, as the tiger in the pool drags himself back onto land, one of his friends again rushes over to his side - followed quickly by the rest of the rest of the tigers on stage, who surround the wet tiger, nuzzling him as he tries to dry off. Eventually, the trainers appear to give up, cracking their whips and yelling to usher the tigers off the stage.

This photo shows one of the tigers shortly after the incident, with a bleeding wound on his face.


According to welfare group Animals Asia, the video went viral in China, where people were moved by the sight of the tigers displaying such worry for their companion.
"The video clearly shows the tigers empathizing with the plight of their peer," Dave Neal, animal welfare director for Animals Asia, said in a statement. "They know he is in trouble and needs help and they want to give it to him. They are torn between their training, with its threat of violence, and their natural sympathy for another tiger in danger."
China's circuses in particular have long been dogged by animal welfare concerns - a 2016 investigation into several Chinese circuses showed lions  and other animals being beaten and kept in tiny, filthy cages between performances.
