      @Mr. Goodbar Your cultural bullshit gives you no right to torture and treat animals in this fashion. It is done for money. Stop lying, stop pretending.
      Perhaps you should note that the people fighting the hardest to save Asian elephants from such cruelty, such as that seen in Thai logging ventures, which are horribly cruel, including intentional blinding, are Thais. Go give your speech to them.
      Your PC BS is cruel and racist.. A stupid excuse for ignoring this evil shite. The idea that no one of the incorrect colour or incorrect birth place may even have an opinion, sounds like PC racism. Just a bit full of yourself, aren't you Mr.shitebar?
      Yes, i am laughing at you and your Very western PC BS.
      You do not understand and likely do not know that people who are part of that culture are why Big Cat Rescue and ADI knew about Hoover and were able to do anything.

Now he's truly free and reunited with those he loved in the presence of the Creator. God bless ADI. God bless BCR. God bless Hoover. May all beings be free from suffering.

      People who abuse animals are not "horrible monsters" in my humble opinion! To label them as such demonizes people who some of us perceive as a problem. But it is a "problem" that has existed since humans first began: the problem of cruel, controlling behaviour. Abusers of any form of life are simply human beings doing what they've learned and been allowed to continue.

      I'm curious what your definition of a monster is then. Because my definition of a monster is a person who abuses either people or animals. We're talking about physical abuse, which is torture. People who get pleasure out of torturing another living creature is my exact definition of a monster and the prison cells are full of them. Doesn't matter where they've learned the behavior, what matters is that they choose to do it.

These animals should've AT LEAST had basic veterinary care, and the best food and environment possible...but once again, man believes these lives are replaceable. When it dies, go get another...this is one of many shames upon "humanity.

      @@Trid2bnrml1, well, this will probably rarely -- if ever -- happen in a country where the standard of living is quite low for the general population. Apparently, in Peru there is a ban on keeping exotic animals for commercial purposes, or at least for these smaller commercial operations, but it seems there aren't enough wildlife officials to enforce the laws there, or in many other countries, as well. You can bet the circus owners don't charge a high entrance fee (because so few people could afford to attend), so they probably don't make much of a profit at all, and proper care of large wild cats (and other large animals that belong in their native wild territories, not in circuses or zoos!) would require expensive care. So glad this rescue operation exists and is doing as much as it can to locate and rescue these exotic animals that deserve to have large spaces in which to roam and enjoy a natural environment. Down with all animal circuses and businesses that keep and mistreat these majestic creatures that should be living in sanctuaries, at least and preferably in their natural habitats.
