Thailand’s Tiger Temple, though called a "temple" is registered as a zoo—and is awash in controversy. All of the tigers that live there were born at the temple, though the monk insists that this operation was started years ago with wild orphan cubs. Visitors can take pictures with tigers, walk with, feed and bath tigers. The temple staff let the tigers breed and a new location has opened in a new temple on the beach.
