Pat Craig sits down and stares at the tiger. The big cat locks its eyes on Craig and, shoulders bent, moves toward him. Craig flattens his palm against the chain-link fence and leans even closer as the 700-pound tiger approaches. Then, with his top teeth on his lower lip, Craig blows three short puffs（喷气）of air. The tiger brings his face inches from Craig’s and blows three puffs back. In tiger language , they have just said hello.

After the greetings, Craig strokes the cat’s pink nose and soft forehead, and the tiger moans（呻吟）as if his worst itch has been injured. “Hi, Ricky,” Craig said in a loud voice, “You’re a good boy.”

Ricky lives in the Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg, Colorado, along with 73 other tigers but the sanctuary wasn’t their first stop. Many of these tigers were living in dirty conditions while earning their survival in roadside zoos, portrait studios on county fairs. Others served as breeding machines their young were often shipped away in boxes before growing up; and some were owned by private citizens who abandoned them when they outgrew the cute killen stage.

The tigers aren’t alone at the sanctuary either; African lions, mountain lions, leopards, wolves, and more. Thanks to one man, Pat Craig, who funded and built this 160-acre place of unwanted wild animals, they eat balanced meals and get proper care.

By estimates, more than 25,000 wild animals live in cages outside the zoo system in the United States, many in cruel conditions. Owners who use their animals for commercial reasons may have proper legal permits, but the licenses give the animals only minimal protection, and although there are laws against selling wild animals across state lines, in several states there is no prohibition against owning, say a leopard or an African lion.
