    Patty Perry was injured by some of her tigers at a donor event. She is the founder of the private Wildlife Environmental Conservation in Moorpark, California. (Moorpark is also home to Moorpark College Teaching Zoo which is unrelated to this facility).

    If it was a "sanctuary", she wouldn't be in there doing this nonsense with the cats.

    Reading the 'comments' section on several articles online, it would seem that the general public has very little sympathy for Patty Perry. There are photos of her bottle-feeding enormous tigers while inside an enclosure...an extremely risky act for anyone. The idea of going in with 'pet cats' such as tigers doesn't sit well in modern society.
