With regards to the notorious Tiger Temple, following complaints from tourists and volunteers about tigers being mistreated at the Tiger Temple in Kanchanaburi, Thailand, CWI recently undertook an intensive two year investigation. The CWI report reveals evidence of illegal wildlife trade, animal cruelty, false conservation claims and visitor safety risks at the Temple.

You can read the report at: http://www.careforthewild.com/projects.asp?detail=true&I_ID=580&mypage=Reports

This issue has widespread media coverage:

It's not every day you get to
pet, cuddle and stroke a real
live tiger - luckily they're
nocturnal and fairly docile
during the day, plus these big
rescue cats are quite tame.
