We are hobbyist photographers and we love to find new places to take our cameras. Last Sunday morning, we headed up to Tiger World to see what we could photograph. Admissision was $15 (+ taxes)/adult which I felt was reasonable. We found the park to be clean and the employees to be cheerful, happy, and willing to answer questions. For photography, the fencing was a challenge, but the animals looked well taken care of. Most were even active and animated.

Here is a link to my album of photos from our excursion:

Hmmm.... looks like there won't be a preview. Here's a sneak peek:

I don't believe in taking animals out of their natural habitat and putting them in cages for the rest of their lives for people to gawk at them. It's inhuman....

My understanding is that Tiger World is a sanctuary that only rescues animals. If I remember right from a few years ago, one of the chimps was actually a pet of an old lady that used to dress them up and feed them...that was inhumane...so they brought it to Tiger World since it wouldn't survive on its own anymore in the wild.
