Tigers and monks (…oh my)!

“…it’s clear that this Buddhist monastery is like no other, for this handful of monks live with some of the deadliest animals in the world…”

Thanks to Sam DeWitt for finding them and passing them on…

Please,
Do NOT go to this temple.
Please, if you care at all about animals, do not go to this temple.
