Antle poses with his staff in a swimming pool they use in a tiger show, at his
Myrtle Beach Safari entertainment facility in South Carolina, 30 April 2019.
Tourists pay upwards of $399 each to join a tour, during which they play and
are photographed with cubs.
Between 5,000 and 10,000 tigers
live in captivity in the US. Roadside zoos and other businesses breed tigers
and charge guests to pet and pose with them. Individuals also keep tigers as
pets
