oTiger cubs were punched, dragged, and hit with whips during "training." oVisitors, including children, were bitten, scratched and knocked down by tiger cubs, some of whom were too mature to be used for public handling or photo shoots.

I hope they will close this horrid place, and send these poor animals somewhere where they'll get proper care and attention.

I wish HSUS had the authority to just close down such an operation. The laws protecting animals are way too lax. It must be heartbreaking for investigators to see these kinds of things and not be able to halt them immediately. The people working at this place sound very cruel.

GW should be shuttered and some staff members cited and jailed for cruelty to animals.
