This gorgeous tiger was rescued from an abusive environment where the owner had illegal exotic animals. I photographed him at the rescue center. He cannot be released because he does not know how to survive on his own. It is sad that such a beautiful animal has to live in a wildlife rescue place, but it is better than him being locked up in a small cage for one person's sick enjoyment. The staff make sure he gets to exercise "free" where he can run and jump.
