The exotic animal trade is a booming industry that generates about $20 billion annually. In some nations, this lucrative market is controlled by organized crime. It is estimated that over 100,000 tigers have been killed for their body parts illegally since 2005. With so many tigers being taken from the wild and farmed for their skins, teeth, bones and meat these days, it's clear to see why this trade has been brought into question once again with a recent veterinary studyat the University of Florida showing that breeding these animals can lead to severe mental disorders like stress-induced stereotypies (inactivity), aggression, self-mutilation and depression. This study also shows a strong correlation between the tiger being kept in isolation and the severe mental state of the animal. The reasoning behind this is, tigers have a complex social structure within their species, living in groups with a hierarchical system. In order for these animals to be taken from their natural habitat and placed into a small cage alone with no one of their species around them they become very agitated, depressed and eventually begin displaying self-destructive behavior. In some cases just being near other animals can have an effect on these farmed tigers. On December 27, 2009, the Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) opened an investigation on Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch (CABBR), to check for possible cruelty against tigers. An inspector found that the fence enclosures were too small for all the tigers living there. There was an incident where two tigers got into a heated territorial fight, which may have led to one of them to be severely injured. Tigers are solitary creatures and will not tolerate another animal of the same species trying to establish dominance over them. Professional zookeepers and caretakers know that it is important for these animals to stay solitary in order to prevent any injuries among their species. More than likely the tigers in this Ohio zoo were used to living in small enclosures with little to no interaction from other animals. This can lead to serious mental disorders. After a few days of fighting, one of the tigers suffered a severe wound on his face that required an emergency surgery. That tiger was recovering at Lake Erie Nature and Science Center for a while until he died on May 29, 2010. In another case, on February 27, 2011 Animal Defenders International (ADI) released footage from the Jeddah' Circus of Saudi Arabia showing three white tigers being beaten with baseball bats during rehearsals for their performance. The trainers were allegedly attempting to "train" the tigers though hitting them with wooden bats. The tigers were suffering from panic attacks and had to be tranquilized after the beating. This type of "training" is not only illegal but it's also cruel and unhealthy for the animals. The use of metal bats on wild animals is seen as prohibited by the Council of Europe. It's illegal to train other animals to fight with projectiles (besides shields). The tiger used in this "performance" should've been given a chance to integrate into a normal zoo population and made to feel safe amongst humans, rather than being treated as an object that needs to be beaten into submission. cfa1e77820
