Celtic Tiger?

    Newer Older

    Fierce looking tiger in a cage in Dublin Zoo. Showing how photography captures one moment in time, we also have a photo of him(?) taken a couple of minutes before or after, where he just looks like a big pussy cat...

      Wow to think all that power of a 400 pound gorgeous animal lies on the fate of a chain.... Sad what people think is okay.

      You'd be angry too in a cage like that.

      It's a shame they can't have better living conditions for him. I'd be miserable too if I were on a chain like that. Such a fierce, awesome beauty.

      If you look closely, you'll see he's not on a chain, that's his tail!

      The bricks and concrete set a certain tone, as well.

      A great photo but a terribly sad situation for that tiger.
