Wild animals, not wild stories 

Behind the scenes of the Netflix Tiger King series, is the abuse of animals and an international network of breeding, trading, and exploitation of tigers, lions and other big cats. 

With an estimated 10,000 big cats in the U.S., 1,600 captive tigers in Europe, and 1,500 caged tigers in South Africa, FOUR PAWS is fighting to protect ALL big cat species and ban the commercial trade. 

We believe in a world where big cats live in the wild, not where the story about their life in captivity is so wild that it ends up on Netflix.

The Issues

Problems for big cats in the wild and in captivity

In Danger of Extinction

+

Business in the age of mass extinction


Threats like climate change, habitat destruction, biodiversity loss, and wildlife trade gravely impact the survival of all big cat species; the world has already lost 90% of its wild tiger population. Yet the captive industry for big cats is booming. We must #BreakTheViciousCycle

Captive Breeding

+

The legal commercial trade 


Big cats are bred for selfies, cub petting exhibits, walk-with opportunities, circus shows, or kept as pets. As long as it is profitable to breed them, the demand will continue to grow.
