Tigers Found in Train Car – How the Virginia Girls Came to Call Carolina Tiger Rescue Home

State officials in Virginia found the trio in a small, manure-filled cattle trailer during a raid in August 1995. The tigers were meant to be sold. Officials sent the trio to us when we were still known as Carnivore Preservation Trust, and they lived in peace.
