Tiger found caged in abandoned home gets second chance at wildlife sanctuary: ‘He seems to be so happy’

The estimated 350-pound tiger was transported to the facility, an affiliate of the Humane Society of the United States, on Wednesday afternoon, and is settling in well, Almrud said. There, he will have the chance to roam in enclosures of up to three acres.

Almrud, who estimates him to be about 2 years old, described the moment he first walked onto the grass at the sanctuary as remarkable.

“It was just amazing to see him walk out on grass and to see him explore and have that freedom of movement,” she said. “It was just such a reward and fulfilling to us.”

Now, he spends his days rolling around the grass in glee, Almrud said.

“He comes right up to the fence every time a staff member is present,” she said. “He seems very amenable to our presence.”

The tiger is eating well – a combination of chicken, humanely raised non-processed beef and whole prey complete with organs and bones. It appears that he was being fed chicken, which is what owners of exotic cats often feed them, but chicken alone does not provide the complete nutrition they need to thrive, Almrud said.

In addition, caregivers are tasked with keeping the tiger mentally stimulated by creating “pretend hunting” games and rotating him through different areas so he has access to new smells and environments to explore.

“He seems to happy and content,” Almrud said. “Our staff is just falling in love with him.”

His name is Loki now! In June he celebrated his 7th birthday at the sanctuary where he lives and thrives. Here’s a few pics of the boy:

This is not the same as having an eating disorder. But it is a warning sign for developing one, and carries its own negative health effects.

It's not disordered to look at your diet and decide you'd like to drink more water, which then naturally results in you drinking less soda.

It is disordered to become obsessive about soda and feel extremely stressed at the thought of ever drinking one because of the calorie content.

There are many fitness practices that for some people, some of the time, will result in weight loss, but you don't control if it happens to you.

Because the truth no one wants to acknowledge is that losing weight isn't inherently healthy.

Gaining weight isn't inherently unhealthy.

And as you incorporate more fitness habits into your life, like movement, improved nutrition, better hydration, better rest, etc. your weight will likely regulate to your body's set weight.

Set weight is still a theory (though a well supported one) but the likelihood is your body has a genetically programmed optimum weight range. And while maintaining healthful habits you can likely toggle it to either end of your natural range, but the thinness that society idolizes is not in everybody's natural range.

Which means with fitness some people will lose weight. And some people will gain weight. Some people's weights won't change much at all.

Some people who are currently living in thin bodies may discover that they are actually healthier in fatter bodies.

Which is why weight loss centric mentalities often lead towards disordered behaviors.
