Did you know there is a tiger rescue program right here in the Triangle?
Carolina Tiger Rescue is a not-for-profit organization in Pittsboro, North Carolina that exists specifically to provide a permanent home for unwanted and/or abused endangered animals. Carolina Tiger Rescue also rescues animals that are in need of help. From tigers, lions, cougars, and primates...Carolina Tiger Rescue has them all!
Carolina Tiger Rescue is providing excellent living conditions for previously malnourished, abused and even abandoned big cats and other domestic and exotic animals.
I didn't even know that Carolina Tiger Rescue existed in this area and, even better, they provide tours on weekends. What a great way to enjoy a Carolina afternoon with the family.

Some how I believe that they never should have been removed from their natural habitat. Zoos are cruel. Sorry.
By the way, Tigers are not native to Africa.
They might not be native to Africa but they are still habitants of Africa.
Where do tigers live?
Asia
Tigers once lived throughout Asia but now live only in Southeast Asia. The largest tiger population is in India, but population numbers continue to decrease everywhere.
There seems to be a common misconception that Tigers are native to Africa. They are not.
Brave man. I note that you said Asia.
Probably a great trip.
My parents also went to the
Singita Private Game Reserver, Kruger National Park, South Africa where they had lions and other game.
