Talk about adrenaline rush!
According to Yahoo news, a Florida zoo has been fined $21,000.00 by The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) following charges that the zoo has broken animal welfare law and unethical handling of tigers in the zoo. The zoo offers the public the opportunity to swim with tiger cubs for a paltry fee of $200.00. The practice does not sit well with many animal lovers, notably with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), who says it will eventually file a lawsuit contending that the zoo is in violation of the endangered species act.
Check out this adorabe short video from the BBC Earth showing young tiger cubs swimming and playing with dogs.
