I Love My 600lbs Tiger | BEAST BUDDIES

SUBSCRIBE to Barcroft Animals: bit.ly/2ceCJY0
MEET the brave Czech family who spend their days living with big cats - including a tiger that weighs 44 stone. Petr Augustÿn manages Fauna Park, a sanctuary that houses more than 150 animals and 40 different species, from monkeys and meerkats to tigers and cougars. With the help of his family at their home in Lipová, Czech Republic, 53-year-old Petr is the leader of the pack who has been working with dangerous animals for the last 10 years. Describing the animals as the ‘centre of his life’, Petr interacts closely with Diego - a 44 stone tiger that he hand-feeds and cuddles every day.

You're a heck of a great man Petre ... your family great too. I do NOT consider your animals to be "in captivity" but "domesticated/under care." And, of course, they'll live much longer healthier lives under your care than in the wild. From what I've seen on KZbin, dogs can provide healthy and welcome companionship/outlets for otherwise "wild" cats. Keeps the cats from getting bored/moody/dangerous; keeps the dogs doing what dogs like to do ... on the move all the time. 'Am especially intrigued with your herding-type dogs (Aussie shepherds?) which are usually too "business like" to be playing around; just want to herd other animals.
