By Sharon Guynup, photos by Steve Winter

  • THE TIGERS NEXT DOOR: It’s believed that the number of captive tigers here in the U.S. is greater than the number that remains in the wild. While it is unclear exactly how many captive tigers are in the U.S., as there is no official count, estimates range from 5,000 to 10,000. This feature will uncover the shocking widespread animal abuse of tiger breeding in the U.S. and across the globe. It will also shed light on tourism, as it is the main driver in tiger breeding, with many roadside zoos and other businesses making thousands of dollars a day from guests paying to pet and pose with cubs, some as young as 4 weeks old.
