I kissed a tiger... and I liked it!

Photo essay: Lujan Zoo outside Buenos Aires

I met up with Fabrice (French), Jenn (French), Heather (American) and Emilco (Columbian) at the corner of Rivadavia and Pueyrredon avenues in Buenos Aires yesterday to take the number 57 bus to Lujan Zoo where, unbelievably, visitors can touch tigers and lions. We not only touched them, but I actually kissed a Bengal tiger! The hot summer sun (and being in a cage all day, every day) sapped the energy of the animals. That was good for us to be able to go near them in a calm state without being (too) afraid. Never thought I'd live to get so close to wild animal, let alone kiss it! >>> See videos

Of beasts........

by پندارنیک on

Did you ever bother asking the tiger if he/she/it ever liked it.............Stop animal abuse...............Don't confine them in commercial zoos...............don't build your houses in their natural realm, only to call the wild-life control guy to get the beast out of your attic, later on............don't run your highways from the middle of ravines...............
I wish I could control the wildest animal of mine, my tongue............especially on JJ.....I know he can bite hard..........
