Description
A tiger from the zoo of La Tanière, in France. This zoo takes care of captive wild animals who have been abused by their previous owners. This tiger, Firmin, was used as a tourist attraction and in nightclubs (according to one of his keeper). He has cataract from the flashes of cameras and has been declawed (declawing is the action of totally removing the claws of an animal, as well as the third phalanx. This is illegal in France (except if there is a true medical reason to do it), as it causes a lot of suffering for the animals, who sometimes have to be put down, as they become unable to walk or even eat, are in pain and often suffer from complications, such as infections).
