“If … we’d been running a videotape … of the times I struck this animal … PETA would burn this place to the ground.”
A PETA eyewitness has caught the owner of the tiger used in Life of Pi, Bowmanville Zoological Park owner Michael Hackenberger, on video viciously whipping another Siberian tiger named Uno approximately 20 times in a row during a savage training session. The young tiger was so traumatized that he involuntarily emptied his anal sacs, a fear response in big cats. “I got a bit angry there,” Hackenberger later admitted.

Dear Mark,
Ever wonder how they get tigers to perform on cue?
A PETA eyewitness has caught the owner of the tiger used in Life of Pi, Bowmanville Zoological Park owner Michael Hackenberger, on video viciously whipping another Siberian tiger named Uno approximately 20 times in a row during a savage training session.
The young tiger was so traumatized that he involuntarily emptied his anal sacs, a fear response in big cats.
“I got a bit angry there ,” Hackenberger later admitted.
See the video and find out what you can do to help stop this abuse. Sincerely,
Tracy Reiman
Executive Vice President PETA:
No animal deserves the abuse, isolation, and neglect that many tigers and lions experience. Will you support PETA’s vital work to stop the suffering and abuse of animals for frivolous entertainment by making a gift right now?
