    FOLLOW THE TIGERS: MORE IN THE WORKS!

    On 7th November, we once again visited the Temple tigers residing at the Department of National Parks (DNP) facilities. On this trip we brought a six-monthly supply of carnivore supplement, which is added to the tiger's food. In addition, for one of the facilities we supplemented their food by purchasing 100kg of chicken and pork from Betagro. Sadly, a few more tigers have passed on but those that remain appear to have fully adjusted to their new life. However, work still nee

    TWO YEARS ON: WHERE ARE THE TIGER TEMPLE TIGERS NOW?

    It’s been two years since the Tiger Temple in Kanchanaburi, Thailand was closed and the tigers relocated to government facilities. It looked to be a new beginning for captive tigers in Thailand with government officials announcing that they would be cracking down on facilities across the country. However, two years on and there are more facilities offering tiger selfie and interaction opportunities, not less. In terms of the tigers from Tiger Temple however, sadly things did

    FOLLOW THE TIGERS: GREENER ENCLOSURES

    More photos of some of the lucky tigers enjoying their outside areas. With the recent rains, the grass is finally starting to grow in, making these enclosures a little more lush than they had been. This is Diamond Jr out in the recently finished enclosure funded by Wildheart Foundation. The bamboo tree behind the platform is great for the tigers as they can eat the leaves much in the same way that they sometimes eat grass. In the wild, tigers would eat the stomach contents of

    FOLLOW THE TIGERS: FOUNDATIONS RISING

    Follow the Tigers: Almost daily updates at the moment! The foundations for Enclosure No. 5 are going up at a rate of knots, it is all very exciting. Let's hope progress doesn't slow down just yet :) For those of you who are just coming to this page, this is the fifth enclosure being built for the rescued Tiger Temple tigers. At this time, they are in small cages that have no natural enrichment inside along with limited space. These larger enclosures offer the tigers a more na

    THE MALI-SALIKA TIGERS ARE ON THE MOVE

    Over the past two years the Mali-Salika Zoo in Nakhon Nayok outside Bangkok has been attempting to close its doors. A private holding with 108 tigers residing inside, it was imperative that these tigers found homes before closure could occur. The past months have seen the Department of National Parks (DNP) searching to find homes for all these tigers as they are unable to take on all of them, themselves. This search has led them far and wide across the country as they attempt

    TEMPLE TIGERS UPDATE: SURGERIES

    As we mentioned yesterday, there were a few of the Temple tigers undergoing an operation for their respiratory problems. Today we learnt that it was three of our tigers (still unidentified) and that the vets would be heading to the second facility today to perform more surgeries. Hopefully everything goes well and that the tigers are all on a quick and successful road to recovery. #fortigers #DNP #savethetigers #captivetigers #animalwelfare #tigertemple #thailand

    TEMPLE TIGERS UPDATE: CHICKEN RUN PART 2

    Temple tiger update: Another chicken run to the government facility today, this one funded by us. As before this was not a visit to see the tigers but rather just the food donation and as such we did not see any of them. Whilst at the facility we saw that the vet team was present but were unable to speak to them directly. We learnt that a few of the tigers previously suffering from the respiratory problems we have mentioned before, were undergoing operations within the govern

    Tiger Temple tigers: RIP Sangtawan & Farkram Jr

    GRAPHIC IMAGES: This is a video from the Department of National Parks (DNP) and sadly, the video does show footage of three of the Tiger Temple tigers that have now died. The first image is of Jomnapah (already known to have passed on March 4th 2017), the second is of Sangtawan, the third of Farkram Jr. If you would like to give these images a miss, then skip the video between 4.10 – 4.23. The last two tiger’s deaths were previously unknown to us. Rest in Peace Sangtawan and

    Ten tigers gone from Tiger Temple

    On 28th January 2016, five of the Temple's male tigers were removed to the government facilities. These five were: Dao Nua Jr, Broma, Saka, Dao Tie and Dao Tok. One month later, today, 23rd February, five more males have been relocated there. This time: Dawie, Happy, Dao Lurk, Mek Nua Jr (aka Liverpool) and Diamond. Here are some images showing the first ten tigers in the DNP facilities versus their home at Tiger Temple. *Images of DNP facilities provided by DNP #savethetiger
