1. These folks are carnies. Carnies are scary.
2. These cages are extremely small. And bare. And without water. Animals like water right? Even Tigers?
They have goats, a llama, monkeys, lemurs, a kangaroo, a tiger cub, a white tiger, a regular tiger, a lion cub, a camel, a burmese python, a leopard and some sort of little cow thing that was kinda funny. What they didn't have were decent accommodations for these animals. The tigers were in metal cages with less than 6x4 feet of room to move. The big cats just lay sleeping (I hope, they seemed to be breathing.) It's always exhilirating to see big cats, but it's kind of a drag to seem them imprisoned like that. I can't imagine these animals being anything more than miserable.
Usually animals love attention. Not these though, unless you had some food they shied away from being petted. It's kind of sad. In fact it kind of depressed me. When you go a zoos these days they usually have huge environments for the animals to roam around in. I'd say don't go give these carnies your money, but I'm afraid what would happen to these animals if the cash flow dried up. The tigers could be sold, but I think they'd be hard pressed to find a home for the goats, and being a herp enthusiast I know snakes are extremely hard to get rid of. Zoos won't accept them, they already have so many.
Poor little fella. I wish I could steal him and raise him on the farm in Zion Chapel. It's hard to hide a tiger I bet.
Joe camel here had about six feet of room to walk around in.
