THERE IS NO TRUTH about the tigers being given drugs!!!
NONE!! NOT true!!! and please make sure you tell anybody who claimed such drivel that they are wrong!
I have been there and they are real tigers. They are not kept docile for tourists. Tourists are their guest - to come and see them while they come out for their afternoon walk. The tigers were not raised for a tourist show. It was a place of refuge for tigers but tourists happened to found out about them.
There is a website - search and go to it and find out about them. (I can't remember the URL off hand)

Many had been there to keep company with the tigers and I believe that they can assure you that there is no sedative given. You can go and sign up to be a tiger-keeper for a period if you like.

Yes they do! If they didnt those tigers natural lilling instinct for food would be in full force and someone would get hurt! v It doesnt hurt the tiger its like giving him a mellow drug that keeps him warm and fuzzy for awhile until they can get done what needs done! Otherwise- they wouldnt be able to pull a tooth on him if they had too!
