70. TIGER SHOW



























What started as a refuge in a jungle monastery for hungry, injured and displaced wild cats has been seized upon by tourism officials as a money spinner. 

The monks are'nt anywhere to be seen, just one solitary 'monk' is kept for good measure for the purpose of photography as he walks the cats. 

The poor creatures looked sedated. The surrounding forested areas have been cleared to make the 'refuge' bigger - boars, deer, even a horse, have been added to make it more like an open concept zoo. I'm told there's another such refuge in this province.


 
















When 1 tiger meets another..I had on my best tiger suit to blend in so in their dazed state, they may think I'm one of them!!!















Those are'nt dentures - I get ready to sprint































When animals are well fed, they stay and remain tame
