Man Who Lives With 7 Tigers With His Family (PHOTOS+Video)


Tiger2
Ary Borges, who lives with seven tigers live in his house, swim in his pool and even give his baby granddaughter rides on their back. He rescued two tigers from a circus and breed them bringing the number to 7. The father-of-three refuses to accept being so close to the 35-stone animals is dangerous and insists if he gives them respect, they will respond.
Borges says it all started in 2005 when he first rescued two abused tigers from a travelling circus. He defends his right to breed the animals and says he gives them a better home than they might find elsewhere in Brazil.

"Sadly there are so many animals dying in zoos that have no oversight. My animals are treated extremely well ... we're preserving and conserving the species," he said. "We have a great team of veterinarians. We give them only the best, but we're being persecuted."
'I was never worried about my daughters co-existing with these animals. 'You have to show the animals respect and love - that's how you get it back from them.'
He and his daughters Nayara, 20, Uyara, 23, and Deusanira, 24, walk the tigers on leads and feed meat directly into their mouths.They even allow them into their kitchen during mealtime and let them lounge around the house.
