John Varty & Tiger Canyon

[Pckts]

My understanding is that varty attempted to start this project in India but the Indian gov't wouldn't allow it. It may of had to do with his deception on the purity of the Tigers in his facility so he changed his motive to s. Africa where he is attempting to create a safari experience but instead of lions you will see tigers.
Varty's funding comes from specific finical backers who are obviously interested in turning a profit and everything varty does comes from them first.

That being said, in my opinion, Varty does love big cats.
How could he not? Who could devote their entire life to them and not be in love?

Is his project the way to conservation? 
No, I don't think so. But great things have come from the depths of perceived "stupidity."
I'm certainly not calling him stupid but I think many people perceive his actions that way. 


What I hope he does with this is as follows:
I'd like him to take a stand against the poaching of animals and hunting, I'd like him to stop playing devils advocate on certain issues because he doesn't want to upset his investors. Is this a realistic goal?
I'm not sure, without his investors he has no grounds to do this project. Maybe he can create a safari experience in Africa and from this he can in turn, open up another continents eyes to the plight of these big cats.

What I don't like is the irresponsible breeding of these cats to produce white tigers, as we all know, that is one of the main things that started the infatuation with tigers in captivity. The 2nd thing I don't like is the available space compared to the number of tigers living there. That is why you see soo many fights, deaths and infanticides there.

I'll I know is that even though I don't agree with him I do know that he has brought attention to the species.
Good or bad, I don't know. Reply
