3. 15 years?! Who was responsible? Can these tigers survive?

I’m glad for the good deeds n a happy ending but pissed this happened in the first place. We’d probably don’t want to know what other horrors humans do to our wildlife.

From an article about them:

In 2007, a circus troupe abandoned a male and female tiger in San Luis, Argentina. A local farmer was asked to take care of them on a temporary basis, however, the animal's handler never returned to claim them.

With that, the cats were caged in a metal train carriage on the farmer's property. Since both animals were of breeding age, and neither was sterilized, they eventually had two cubs while in captivity.

“The train carriage was filthy with excrement and leftover meat and bones for a long time, but fortunately this is not the case anymore. Tigers need to move, run, play, and bathe. Being locked in a train carriage and only pacing back and forth for 15 years is not a tiger-worthy life," said Khalil.

Four Paws International says Argentinean authorities became aware of the "inferior living conditions" back in 2021.
