Camping with Lions, Tigers, and Bears!

MILK · 05-01-2009, 10:09 AM

Tonight my son and I are camping with the Cub Scouts.

We are camping here - http://www.tigerworld.us/

We are going to be in a field surrounded by cages full of lions, tigers, and bears! It's supposed to rain so it may royally suck but I am taking my camera and hope to get some good pics.

When we were talking about this I asked the Scoutmaster, "Can I bring a gun? NO. How about mace? NO." So I told him that if it gets bad I will be throwing someone else's kid in front of mine.

OK so here you go! All the animals are rescues. Many from people trying to keep them as pets. They are non profit and run off donations.

Oh you wanted to see tigers?

Err... We told the kids they were 'wrestling.'

The lions were my favorite though. The roars at night were Jurassic park impressive. Low and gutteral and AMAZING.

She is feeding him turkey penis. Wish I were kidding.

Fight

Too cute!

This was an impressive kitty too. Gorgeous and quite mean.

I'd bring a rifle anyway. Nothing less that a 300 win mag, maybe even a 338 win mag.

That place is fairly close to my house and I've never even heard of it.

Thanks for posting the link.

!! I think the rain (low chance) and keeping up with all of the little knuckleheads running around will be your biggest concerns.

"Oh My"

I meant where they'd allow camping, dork

I went camping in a field once and woke up surrounded by a herd of cattle licking the SV

Thats pretty cool! Theyve got those all over the country, but not all offer things like camping. Alot of them are rescues for animals fom zoos, or animals taken from people who thought they'd make good "pets". Make sure to post some pics for us!
