i really think it's a catch 22 situation,the law.either they can be kept privately or not,and there should have been contingency plans in place to cover death or divorce .now because enough forthought wasn't given we may loose two extremely rare and beautiful cats!! thank you Cher

I have emailed the Born Free Foundation with a link to this story, as they may be able to at least suggest premises or contacts who could help. Poor animals. What on earth is someone doing keeping a pair of tigers as pets anyway?
