Learn how

Wild animals, not wild stories 

Behind the scenes of the Netflix Tiger King series, is the abuse of animals and an international network of breeding, trade and exploitation of tigers, lions and other big cats.

With an estimated 1
,600 captive tigers in Europe, 10,000 in the US and 1,500 tigers caged in South Africa, FOUR PAWS is fighting to protect ALL big cat species and ban their commercial trade. 

We believe in a world where
 big cats live in the wild, not where the story about their life in captivity is so wild that it ends up on Netflix.

The Issues

More tigers in captivity than in the wild 

In danger of extinction

+

Business in the age of mass extinction


We are losing the fight against biodiversity loss. The world has already lost 90 percent of the wild tiger population. Yet the captive industry of breeding and trading them is booming.

Captive Breeding

+

The legal, silent commercial trade 


Bred for selfies, petting, walk-with opportunities, circus shows, or kept as pets. As long as it is profitable to breed tigers, the demand will continue to grow. Read more about the truth behind the tourist attraction!
