One must remember that Satan is the prince of this world, and he goes back and forth over the earth trying to bring as many ppl as possible to hell with him because his days are numbered and very short now. Adam & Eve really messed by disobeying God and given in to Satan, which cursed mankind through their disobedience, but Christ created a way for us to escape the wiles of the devil through the Holy Ghost, but we must obey Acts 2:38 in order to receive the Spirit of Christ. We cannot do whatever we want in this life if we wish to make it into the Kingdom. Sacrifices must be made in this life in order to inherit the next one, which is for all eternity. What is 70-100 years of life on this planet compared to everlasting life? There is no comparison, but humans have a difficult time seeing an inch beyond our own noses, and we live for the moment not thinking about the eternal consequences. I've lived on both sides of the fence, and I received the Holy Ghost at age 19, and I chose Christ every time. God is so good to us humans even though we don't deserve his grace and mercy. 🔑Acts 2:38🕊

[@Killjoy_Mel]

@@nunyabiznes33 Well, the thing with that is, if they were fed in large quantities, then it makes sense why they would look healthy enough. Hunting is hard. First you need to find a large prey animal, then you need to catch it and kill it, and most hunts tend to be unsuccessful. Tigers in the wild usually eat their fill once a week or so on average. This isn't the problem, especially seeing how they don't look starved and at least outwardly their hide and eyes look well (teeth are a different story probably). The real crime here is the confinement. Wild animals need to roam. Wild cats need to be able to do cat things. Hell, even domestic cats... I am absolutely against letting them roam in urban environment, and even in rural environment they tend to have shorter lives because wilds be wild. But even urban cats should be vest and leash trained early, and taken to walks in a park or wherever at least twice a week. My hairy little old man of a cat and I will just wait for the night and go explore the streets when the traffic dies down. Sure, he catches a few ticks during summer, but an animal's mental health is just as important as its physical health. So keep the cats happy, both big and small!

the shots of them pressing their faces together are beyond extraordinary. they conveyed an emotion that transcends species, we all felt exactly what they did in that moment.

[@allisons6910]

There is no excuse, cultural or poverty included, that justifies the treatment these tigers endured. To take intelligent, endangered animals and leave them in the dark for days while the train moved towns, sweltering in the heat during the summer & freezing in the ice on cold metal, no bed not even straw, nothing to do (solitary confinement when they have done nothing wrong), starving (compared to tigers in the wild, notice how skinny and frail they are - esp. the male) These tigers lived in total misery. Beyond their barren enclosure, at any point in time they were expected to be entertainment?! & You know they don't want the tigers just laying there, what scars lie beneath the fur? I'll bet he was shaking because in the past, he had been let out of the cage for "training”, and naturally tried to enjoy this glimpse of freedom. You know, rather than the impossible expectation that the tiger would be in a focused state, ready to engage with commands & learn tasks. But I've already written too much to try to convey why there is *NO* excuse for this barbaric treatment. To those responsible for this, not just the Circus of Cruelty, the evil who captured, stored, sold, and anyone else within the chain of custody, and circus goers who enjoyed and did not put a stop to this: You belong in that cage. You will be fed barely enough to live, no daylight for days, alone, in sweltering heat and freezing cold, with nothing but your thoughts, and at any point in time, the cage cover can be thrown open, if you are asleep or depressed from the situation, you will be awoken with a sharp prod, and you will see you are in a tiger conservatory. As long as you stay perfectly in the center of the cage, maybe their claws won’t reach you. After 15 weeks, (a mere fraction of time compared to the 15 years the tigers endured) the door will open, and you, frail & trembling, will hope your victims are not around. But they will be. Lastly, since a M&F were your prisoners, I sure hope you have not stolen their cubs. As the same fate will extend to anyone whom was responsible's kids. Anyone who tries to use excuses for why this occurred (and is likely still occurring in Argentina) to justify this happening to these tigers, are looking down on the intuition inherent to every human by nature. This travesty occurred due to greed and bc a number of people passed the buck by telling themselves, “It’s not my job to stop this,” “There’s nothing I can do about it,” or the most insidious: “They probably have a vet that makes sure they’re healthy.” It should not have taken 15 years to save these tigers.

I’ve never once in my life have even come close to thinking about a tiger, a majestic creature shivering in fear.

You can, if you're young enough, learn about this kind of work and help save animals in the field. Though it's s demanding job, and you have to have, well depending on the job position, degrees and/or education in the biology of animals, then the technics to save them from certain dangers, how to respond and how not let your emotions get in the way of helping the animals. So I understand why you said "the world needs more people willing to do stuff like this" though I am willing, I'm not able to because of my age, too old, and I don't have the proper training.

To be fair, people did care though. The situation was inexcusable. But at least someone kept them safe and alive and fed and together for 15 long years, long enough for them to be rescued. We don’t know how long those caring for them while they were stuck in the train tried and tried to get them freed and were not able to until these angels came along. Someone made the effort to get them there, they didn’t just learn of these tigers’ plight by osmosis and magically show up. The cats are still healthy and they can make a full recovery and enjoy the rest of their lives now. Because they did receive care even if it was not the best. They’re alive and their future looks amazing, they survived!❤️

A circus isn't just about animals. In times of the past, when animals were sold to a circus & exhibition, many were unknown in parts of the world but we live in different times now. If an animal begins to prey on human, we ought to figure out how to protect ourselves other than killing the predator...except for human predators...they are the more cunning & inventive...more dangerous than 4 legged creatures. Am thrilled to see these big cats are getting to live a good life. Circuses are also about abilities, too. Kinda like the Olympics where individuals show their skills but clowns making one laugh. Cotton Candy. A break in everyday routine. Then they pack up & move on in the dead of night. At one time, it was how 'freaks of nature' could earn a living by also being on display. IMO, that must have been so humiliating! I am thankful that we are maturing as a society & no longer need traveling troops to 'entertain' or inform or share song & dance.

[@jewelv]

@@kateburk2168 Sanctuaries are the right way to restore injured animals, victims of trafficking or cruelty! As for elephants chained and working like slaves for decades! Another kind of circus that shouldn't exist anymore are the water parks where killer whales and dolphins put on a show! As if in nature they were training to do the same thing! It's ridiculous! We humans think we're the smartest, but that's completely wrong! Besides, we deliberately destroy our environment and have waged war for reasons of territory or religion. Animals don't do that!

The farmer was told [they] would return for the animals and was given minimal instructions on caring for them. Years went by and the farmer realized no one was returning but was afraid he would be in a lot of trouble if authorities knew he had the tigers. So he just kept caring for them the best he was able until he no longer could afford to do so. I don't recall whether it was he who contacted authorities or someone helped him to do it, but finally it was happening. Of course, the farmer didn't get into any real trouble because he didn't know what to do and genuinely believed the circus people would return for the tigers.
