Handlers forcefully pulled on the nostrils of #lions and #ligers to make them raise their heads for photos at #SriayuthayaLionPark. In some cases, LFT observed handlers also putting lighter flames under their noses. Handlers also used sharpened sticks to poke the animals.

LFT’s investigator visited 11 zoos in #Thailand and uncovered widespread cruelty to big cats at each one, including distressed #tigers pacing back and forth in barren, concrete enclosures with murky green water, and #lions and #ligers chained to the ground, cowering when handlers raised their fists.
LFT’s investigator also documented tigers with scars being whipped repeatedly with sharp sticks and chained so tightly they could barely move at #TigerTopiaZooSriRacha.

Los ligers (híbrido de una leona y un tigre) son la prueba de que la intervención humana puede crear seres impresionantes. Estos híbridos son los gatos más grandes del mundo con 410 kg.
