How to Help Stop Animal Abuse in the Tourism Industry
"I followed the Tiger Temple in Thailand, a Buddhist temple that claimed to be a tiger sanctuary but was in fact mistreating endangered animals on a large scale; despite years of journalists reporting abuses and tourists refusing to believe it, a government raid eventually found a host of abused and dead tigers, including the frozen bodies of forty tiger cubs, along with evidence of illegal breeding and animal smuggling, and the temple was shut down." - Matthew Kepnes
