Suffering from an apparent medical condition that has left her nearly bald, she spends her lonely days languishing in a cramped, barren enclosure at a filthy roadside zoo filled with other frustrated, miserable animals.
PETA is working hard to help Lila before it's too late and to ensure that big cats like her escape lives of exploitation and torment. This #GivingTuesday, we need you with us.
In their natural homes, tigers can cross rivers miles wide in a matter of minutes and can spend hours submerged up to their neck in water on a hot day—yet all Lila is able to do is endlessly pace the small enclosure that she's been held in for years.
Earlier this year, PETA named the hideous South Carolina tourist trap where she's held the worst roadside zoo in America—and for good reason. It's in general disrepair, with animals confined in dirty and unsanitary conditions almost everywhere you look. The facility has been repeatedly cited for failing to provide animals—including a lion who had trouble walking—with adequate veterinary care and for having enclosures lacking sufficient space. It even failed to separate Lila from another tiger who left her with a painful, 2-inch-deep gash.
Through online action alerts, billboards, and determined campaigning, we're working hard to get Lila and other animals out of that awful roadside zoo and into reputable facilities that would care for them properly.
Lila is being denied all that's natural and important to her—but with your help, we'll keep working to get her the life she deserves.
Just this year, we rescued 25 big cats from hideous roadside zoos affiliated with two of the notorious animal exploiters featured in the Netflix blockbuster Tiger King. PETA has now helped rescue 75 big cats from desolate roadside zoos—and we won't rest until every tiger, every lion, and every other big cat has a chance to be free from neglect, too.
