Tiger Creek Wildlife Refuge takes in unwanted or abused big cats...like tigers, lions, leopards, and even some little ones, like bobcats. They currently have 38 cats under their care. Some have come from a drive-thru safari where the animals were not taken care of properly. Some come from private individuals who adopt these exotic animals without realizing that within two years they can grow to 400+ pounds. Some from people who try to make money showing the animals, but don't feed them or care for them.
But the interesting comparison was the story of one tiger who came from Barnum & Bailey Circus (the tiger couldn't get along with any of the other tigers) and the two who came from Neverland (yes, Michael Jackson's ranch). Barnum & Bailey gave enough of a donation to the refuge to cover the animal's expenses for its lifetime. Michael? Gave nothing.
