The tiger was found in 2015 in Nakhon Pathom province and taken into custody by the DNP. It began living at the Songkhla sanctuary in 2016.

Dumbastheycome Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I hope this is not just an excuse for experimentation ! If the cancer had already metatasized to internal organs then the outcome is unlikely to be in favour of the tiger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
