Tippi Hedren Rescues Michael Jackson's Pet Tigers

Actress Tippi Hedren has come to the rescue of pop star Michael

Jackson's pet tigers who were left abandoned at his Neverland Ranch in

California. The star of The Birds - who is dedicated to saving large

cats at her Shambala wildlife sanctuary - has adopted the animals

because she couldn't bear to see them starved or abused. 

A source tells Globe, "When Michael couldn't find a buyer for them, he

approached Tippi, begging her to take both the male and the female.

Tippi couldn't bear the thought of these beautiful animals ending up in

a tiny cage somewhere or - even worse, being mistreated or starved in a

traveling sideshow. Although Michael promised her he would be

financially responsible for his two tigers, I don't think Tippi honestly

believes she will see a penny." 

The 76-year-old star, who is also the mother of actress Melanie

Griffith, adopted the tigers after animal rights group People for the

Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) broke the news of the deplorable

conditions the animals were living under. 

The source adds, "Tippi has placed them in quarantine for this first

month, ensuring they are in good health and their diet is monitored.

Once they've made this initial adjustment, they will be safely

introduced to the rest of the pride."
