The Danish Tourism trade publication Take Off reports that the largest Danish tour operator Billetkontoret will boycott Thailand's famous 'Tiger Temple' in Kachanburi after reviewing a critical in depth report from Care for the Wild International [CWI] accusing the Tiger Temple of mistreatment of the tigers as well as the illegal importation of the tigers from neighboring Laos. The Tiger Temple has been a major tourist attraction since Animal Planet televised a show several years ago.
Here is our own Chef Paul petting one of the big cats at The Tiger Temple earlier this year.
