Three animal welfare groups thought they had reached an agreement with the Mexican government for the rescue and relocation of 7 abused tigers. The tigers live in appalling conditions at Pepe's restaurant in Cancun. Now, just when the tigers were about

This is not fair! Tigers in the first place should be in the wild. I am very sad for the tigers and very mad for Mexico.

Such a shame ! We had all had such high hopes for these poor animals. I don't get it, if the Mexican Govt. cannot care for these animals and are being baled out by others what seems the problem? The only deduction I can reach is that sufficient money has not changed hands. The same old story! My fear is that the Chinese will get into the act. That will surely spell doom for the tigers.

And people actually eat at this restaurant ??? Why on earth would anyone give this restaurant owner the time of day never mind give him any business. Keeping such precious animals like a big cat in cages is a big NO NO & people should boycott his place for that reason alone. I truly hope somebody can get these cats in a place of safety where they can live the rest of their lives out in better conditions.

What makes it worse, if that is possible, it that the abuse of these tigers and other big cats has been going on for years!

its hureistiks*sp* like this that bother me! What does the mexican govt care if some rescue organizations rescue a few tigers. Its not endangering anyone, they are not responsable for putting forth any funds. What is the harm? why all the rigamorol?

So very sad. How selfish can a government be to put their own needs and opinions above those of these desperate tigers who so desperately need to re-homed.

yes the abuse has been going on for many years-many years! They were so close to being free from this hell-so close. It's just heart breaking to see once again the innocent suffering.

Thanks Simone.

Reading this article was bad enough, then I watched the second video in Spanish, didn't understand the entire thing, but just the video was making me sob with sorry for these special creatures...so beautiful and living in Hell! One with a chain around the neck, dirty water, concrete, just horrible to see and these animals are living in it!

I looked all over for a place to contact and I didn't find one, could someone please let me know. They need to be put into the scantuary and need vet care, they will not last in those conditions.

Please someone put down where I can write...to be close to living in Colorado and then have it taken away is just to much.

I really hate to see how all of Mankind is judged when our time is up after the way we have taken care of this world and all of these special animals, we deserve HELL.

It makes me so very sad. I didnt watch the video-- I never do. Sent 5 emails. Please everyone do the emails, because if they get deluged it may make them take notice. No idea why they wouldnt allow the poor cats to go.
