Michael Jackson’s Tigers Find A New Home
http://www.shambala.org/
The Roar Foundation’s Shambala Preserve, certified by the American Sanctuary Association, operated by Animal Advocate and actress Tippi Hedren, who is Founder and President of The Roar Foundation, is now the new home for Michael Jackson’s two Bengal Tigers.
When Jackson decided to close his zoo at his Neverland Valley Ranch in Los Olivos, California and place his animals at other facilities, he consulted with his animals’ long time zoological Veterinarian, Dr. Martin Dinnes and asked him which Sanctuary would make the best home for his tigers, “Thriller” and “Sabu”. A quality facility was Jackson’s priority. Dr. Dinnes took little time in suggesting The Roar Foundation’s Shambala Preserve.
In common with all the other animals Shambala takes in, which now total 70 non-domestic felines including leopards, lions, other tigers, servals, cheetah, mountain lions. These tigers from Neverland came with no endowment for their future care. Acceptance of these beautiful animals by The Shambala Preserve could not be taken lightly as it costs a great deal of money to properly care for them the rest of their lives. The lifetime commitment for these animals is over 20 years, therefore taking in these 7 year old tigers is more than a 13 year commitment. In any case, sadly, it is rare that support money comes with any of these animals.
A new tiger compound is under construction and will house these tigers, together, as they always have been, for the rest of their lives. The cost of the new tiger’s habitat, when finished, will be close to $70,000. The Roar Foundation will need to raise the money immediately in order to accommodate the animals in their new compound when they are released from the quarantine facility at Shambala on June 10, 2006, a date which coincides with the hosting by Tippi Hedren, of the First Annual ROAR for Wildlife Global Conference 2006. The conference addresses the needs of wildlife around the world.

Sounded like Michael Jackson's tigers were given an RV to travel in.
