Circus Tiger's Story To A Happier Life

[@mystuff789]

The part about Max mentally checking out brought me to tears. It reminds me of a story of a rescue donkey who was really abused. Whenever his rescue lady would come to feed him or do anything around him he would do the same as Max. The author said he would just stand there and his eyes would turn glossy and he'd be unresponsive... People aren't the only ones who can feel dead inside. But, just like Max, the lady worked with the donkey enough that he became happy and alive again! Makes my heart happy too that you guys help these big cats and let them LIVE! Look at him playing and taking in all the new scents, just like a tiger should! Keep up the amazing work you wonderful people!

[@rhettlover1]

I cried when I saw that part about Max, too, then cried again when I read your post. Years ago a friend shared that she had been sexually abused as a child by a family member, she described that she mentally "went away" when it happened, exactly what you wrote. Thank you for reminding us how interconnected we are.

When I was a kid I begged my parents to take me to a circus. They never did. Thank God.

[@shabnumhaseeb4589]

When I was a kid I thought the circus was magical place with beautiful lights And the animals loved it there many years later I find out about this very disgusting

[@rawexplorer8373]

Mine did but I won´t. Maybe only to an animal-free one.

[@birgitwilligar3014]

Yes, I've seen that the more modern circuses don't use any animals, just humans (acrobats, etc).

[@prcervi]

majority now don't use any animals, bad circuses can't afford the cost while good ones would rather use the money elsewhere

[@LMarin-fz1qv]

@@birgitwilligar3014 Yes! Many thanks to modern circuses like "Cirque du Soleil", started in Montreal, Quebec, animal circuses will hopefully become 'extinct'!!

Animal circuses are awful but as an acro dancer and tumbler I love circuses like cirque du soleli because they inspire me

Max reminds me so much of Hoover.. It's amazing watching him come out of his shell, thank you so much for all that you do! ADI and BCR are amazing!

It's heartbreaking to see what Circus do to Big Cats. 😥

[@DOLfirst]

Sad to see what they do to ALL the animals.

Max has a great smile and a purrfect personality. Chuff, Chuff, Chuff!!!

Max is my favourite big cat. Thanks for rescuing him from a horrific life.

[@adrianbates5655]

Thank you for rescuing Max! People should be ashamed of how they treated such a beautiful animal 🐅At least Max is in good hands now!😊

[@bigcatrescue]

Thank you for watching!

[@tlk5807]

Love our sweet Maxxy boy!!! Now that he has a better life I loved when his first time in VR he became known as the ultimate walker. He’d walked for hours at a time. Such a sweet boy. Love him so much! Hope he has a long happy life at BCR. Thank you to all at ADI and BCR for what you do for these rescued animals.

Thank you for watching!

[@lisamelroy2855]

No tiger can take Hoover's place in my heart, but it turns out some new space just opened up, and Max moved in! Lol. Thanks for sharing his backstory - I remember that it took him a while to get used to his new home, but I didn't realize he was so bad off to begin with. And look at him now, playing and chuffing away! Great work, as always!!! ❤🐾

Circus and zoo bussiness is awful to animals. This must be stoped.

[@sumaiyakaleem9439]

Not all zoos are bad they participate in rehabilitation and species conservation projects. Oregon and San Diego zoos are prime examples. Georgia Aquarium is also an amazing example for marine animals.

[@sawcon8063]

People always try to make zoos seem less culpable in their poor treatment of animals by addressing the couple zoos who have conservation efforts. Most are terrible, the concept of putting animals on display is inherently bad. So ur right!

[@zoeylee736]

And even marine parks

[@prcervi]

zoos are a case by case, many are dedicated to recovery and propagation of endangered species while a noteworthy amount of disreputable others are only zoos by virtue of having avoided getting their licenses revoked aquariums... there are good ones, but i do not disavow the knowledge of the many awful ones that somehow manage to avoid getting all their papers and licenses revoked to this day

[@tanvirsourav83]

@@sumaiyakaleem9439 You are right bro but there are so many zoos in the world and thousands of thousands animals are stuck there. Only a few zoos are remarkable but the others are....... I don't know what to say. I wish all zoo could become sanctuary for the animals.

Maxie Max! Oh, how you've changed, beautiful boy! He looks so happy and healthy thanks to all of you. I watched the live video of all three tigers arriving and it broke my heart when Max didn't go out to explore. I'm so happy he's a happier, silly, and healthy boy. Thanks so much for giving him the love and attention he needs to know that there is still kindness in the world.
