Tigers and other farmyard animals

Tigers on the farms are kept in cages and are also allowed to chase cows or chickens for the amusement of the paying public.

According to her research, farm tigresses produce cubs at about three times or more their natural rate, bearing up to three litters a year. Cubs are often taken away from their mothers before they are properly weaned.

"The part [of the farm] which people rarely see is basically a winery in which the skeletons of grown tigers are cleaned and put into vats of wine," says Ms Mills.
