To Angshu: I heard all the furor
 

after I had visited the temple. However, the most specific negative information is from several years ago. More recent reports have more positive comments. In any case, the tigers I saw seemed quite playful and attached to their monks. I noticed one adolescent tiger back up and sit down in his monk's lap. While there were more foreign volunteers than monks present; the situation seemed quite well controlled with great care taken to keep all guests beside or behind the tigers. :confused:
