Overview
HOOVER | THE TRUTH ABOUT THE CIRCUS Hoover is a tiger who was owned by Circo Africano, a circus in northwestern Peru For many years he was forced to perform in circus acts and live and travel in a tiny, barren cage At circuses, big cats are forced to eat, drink, sleep, defecate, and urinate in the same place The only relief that many are given from this nearly perpetual confinement is during their brief performances when they are subjected to whippings and roaring crowds In the wild, young tigers grow up with their mothers, but animals used in circuses are often separated long before they would naturally part, causing emotional distress for both mothers and cubs Tigers are naturally semi-nocturnal and love the water There, they are carted around and forced to perform in the daytime and denied access to any kind of watering hole Circuses easily get away with routine abuse because no government agency monitors training session Trainers drag big cats by heavy chains around their necks and hit them with sticks Tigers are innately terrified of fire Yet, in many circus acts, they are forced to jump through burning hoops. Tigers will perform tricks like this only once the pain and fear of punishment have surpassed their instinctual fear of fire Also, more than 250 humans have been injured These numbers are JUST in the United States and JUST since 1990 Luckily, we could save Hoover Sadly, Hoover is the sole survivor of between six and 12 tigers He arrived at ADI’s rescue center frightened, sick and emaciated But after months of intensive veterinary care, rehabilitation and exercise, Hoover has recovered and is eager to start the next chapter of his life at Big Cat Rescue Big Cat Rescue is forever grateful that ADI rescued Hoover Hoover’s days will now be spent relaxing in the sunshine, lounging up on his platforms and cooling off in Big Cat Rescue’s lake He will reside in a huge enclosure with lots of trees, foliage, and shade He will literally be a world away from the abuse he suffered most of his life Want to learn more about how to help us save these beautiful animals?
