Wat Pha Luang Ta Bua - AKA Tiger Temple Thailand
The Tiger Temple’s success is based around claims that its tigers were rescued from poachers and live and move freely and peacefully amongst the temple’s monks, who are actively engaged in conservation and rescue work. Many Many travelers and volunteers have disputed their practices.
Any Google search or Internet search will yield countless articles - with wildly varying accounts and opinions on this mysterious place. The close proximity in which tourists are able to interact with the tigers lends itself to both a unique, yet potentially dangerous experience, but at the same time a criticism of the animals’ rights.
One story is from Turner Barr a world traveler and writer, who shared his views and experience on Around The World in 80 Jobs. Turner tried to volunteer for 30 days but left after just 18...
Care for the Wild International's CEO Philip Mansbridge visited Thailand's famous - or infamous - Tiger Temple in March 2013
Five years previously, Care for the Wild released an undercover report called Exploiting the Tiger, which uncovered disturbing evidence of serious conservation and animal welfare concerns at the Temple.
Are these concerns still relevant? This video, and Care for the Wild's new report, Temple of Lies, aims to alert tourists to key issues still relevant at the Temple:
1. Animal welfare issues - man-handling, aggression towards the tigers, small barren cages
2. Tourist safety issues - tourists are encouraged to touch and walk with the tigers, with no training, and no obvious emergency procedures.
3. False marketing - the Temple bills itself as a peaceful sanctuary for rescued tigers, but it is basically a zoo.
4. Finally, anyone visiting should be aware that your travel insurance is most likely void if you get hurt, as you must sign a disclaimer when you enter the Temple.
It is understandable that tiger-loving tourists jump at the chance to see these animals in close proximity. We'd ask them to think about whether this is the best way to see such magnificent animals - either for the tigers, or themselves.

Run by Hannelore who cares currently for about 130 dogs and 20 cats. She does not receive any funding and relies exclusively on your kind donations.
WHY THE CRISIS :
The main sponsor for VIVE VITA unexpectedly passed away over two years ago, leaving 125 of her dogs and no continuous funding for them on top of the other 75 dogs and 30 cats. The shelter is in urgent need of financial and material help to continue running and caring for the animals. Hannelore doesn't just stop at dogs and cats but also helps injured wildlife and strays. Since the sponsor passed away the shelter has since taken in more animals and was also able to re-home some.
Please help support amazing efforts like those from Hannelore of Vive Vita.
Hannelore takes care of 130 dogs, 30 cats and more strays. Please help her to carry on by donating, and joining her cause.
