Description
Her history: We had just gotten back from Kentucky with Sheba and had a message from a very distraught woman in a neighboring town. There was a tiger on Ebay starting at a $1.00!!! She called Ebay and they immediately removed the auction as it is against their policy to sell live animals.
The people gave many reasons why they no longer wanted her. Insurance, no time, was actually their son’s tiger. The founders drove over 17 hours to rescue her. She was crammed into a filthy, manure laden 10 x 10 pen up to her neck in manure and very thin. 17 hours back, stopping only to water and to feed her, we promised her a peaceful life. A life where her belly would be full and an enclosure she could run and play in. A life to make up for the years endured in filth and hunger (info from Noah's Lost Ark Sanctuary).
The Bengal tiger, also known as the Royal Bengal Tiger or the Indian tiger, is the subspecies with the largest population. It is the national animal of India, place where its image is part of the traditions and the culture. In Bangladesh, it is also the national animal present even in the bills (tiger-world.com).
Complete 2004 after 3.56 hours spread over 2 days.
