Last week I wrote about losing Roscoe tiger at the sanctuary I volunteer at . Two days after that , I was notified of my anniversary. Boy,talk about time fly's. A lot of animals have come and gone during that time. I wouldn't missed the funny and sad times for the world. CT suggested that I might share things about the sanctuary and the tigers so I will time to time. I will start off with this.
Did you know that there is a tiger witness protection program? When a tiger or any animal is seized their where about's is keep a secret until all the legal issues are settled. That is to prevent owners from seizing them back. It has happened. Our sanctuary has a low voltage fence around our 64 acres. That is not to keep animals in but to keep people out. When tiger king ranch was shut down over 60 tigers where scattered around the county and hidden. We took six and for two years we could no talk about them, have pictures taken of them or acknowledge them in anyway. Easy you think. Try hiding a 450 lbs white tiger, named Sabre, who is a show off. When the tours walk by his enclosure, we told the people to ignore what was in there and not to take pictures. Thankfully, he is no longer incognito and still a show off. Later, I will tell you about other things you might be interested in.

Re: 5th tiger anniversary
I just saw a video on you tube about Tiger King, initially not knowing it took place in Oklahoma. It was shut down some years ago, before we made the move here and all the animals seized. My wife suddenly realized she and my daughter had visited the place years ago when she had flown out to Oklahoma for a two week visit with our daughter and her family.
Funny thing, there is also a place in South East Oklahoma, in Hugo, where retired circus elephants live. You can rent cabins there and walk among the Elephants. We haven't visited, but I understand the funds raised support the elephants and staff.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

If you get the chance watch the series on Tiger King. It’s very entertaining but of course made for tv.BrokenolMarine wrote: ↑Wed Aug 27, 2025 8:36 amI just saw a video on you tube about Tiger King, initially not knowing it took place in Oklahoma.
