A British animal lover who raised thousands of pounds to rescue a tiger from a bankrupt Greek zoo has flown the tiger half way around the world to a sanctuary in California. Phevos needs veterinary care and the zoo could not look after him properly. Earlier this year another tiger there died of neglect. David Barnes from Peterborough arranged for Phevos to be flown via London, and BBC joined him on the journey. So just what is involved in moving a tiger half way around the world...

This is heartbreaking, the tiger shouldn't be in a zoo in the first place, he should out in the wild where he belongs

[@nawsheenbaichoo9848]

yeah, the animals should continue to live in the wild and we human should not interrupt them

[@abysalM0nkey]

yea i agree they should be in the wild where poachers will kill them.

Tigers can knock your head off with one swipe of the paw, badass animals and I wish they could be tamed to be house pets

Explain to me how this is different from a movie where a bunch of aliens abducted humans and began doing horrible things with them for "zoo" purposes?
karma is gonna get you.
