For those of you who have never seen a classic "pay to play" business using a 15 week old baby tiger, Kalahari Resort in Sandusky, OH features one and these videos were shot there.  Watching these, you'll see why we ask over and over and over for letters to be written to the resorts, to the councils involved, and to the federal/state government trying to save these little ones from this life, and the even crueler one that awaits when they're too big to cart around anymore.  Please watch and then email your outrage…..

Note how this child's ignorant mother is paying for her son to pet the tiger while simultaneously rubbing his hands over his mouth and nose.  The potential for disease transmission could not have been better documented.  USDA guidelines say that tigers and other big cats should not be used until they are 8 weeks old and not after 16 weeks old, but this tiger looks older.  The sad truth is that there is no way to investigators to know the true age of the cat unless they were standing there when he was born and no way to know what happens to this tiger next month when he is far too big to be used this way.
