A trailer for “The Tiger Next Door” – A documentary film that tells the startling story of a man named Dennis Hill who has been breeding and selling tigers from his backyard for over 15 years. Hill’s dream is to breed a stripeless white tiger – but at what cost to the animals, and at what risk to the community?
As the film begins, Hill has 24 tigers, 3 bears, 6 leopards and one cougar. But after a surprise government inspection, hes lost the license that allowed him to keep exotic animals, and the state of Indiana is threatening to shut him down. As Hill fights to hold on to his tigers over the days and months that follow, The Tiger Next Door follows him exploring his motives, his past, and the curious, ethically-murky world hes created in his backyard. At the same time, the film ranges far beyond Dennis animal compound, illuminating the connection between breeders like Hill, and the near-epidemic of wild animal keeping in the United States.
The film also features Joe Taft, Exotic Feline Rescue Center. Tim Santel, US Fish and Wildlife.

Here at TWS we rescue cats from all walks of life. About 75% of our exotic cats and hybrids come from private owners. Whether the owner starts with good intentions or cruel ones, exotic animals kept as “pets” are typically abused, harassed and kept in substandard living conditions. Only professionally operated facilities can provide the levels of care and safety these animals require. By outlawing private ownership of exotic species, we can prevent the unethical and cruel treatment of exotic animals held captive as “pets” while also preventing future public safety risks. To learn more about how you can help go to www.wildcatsanctuary.org.

In response to a number of local, state and federal legislators introducing bills to ban or curb private ownership of exotic animals in the name of public safety, REXANO (Responsible Exotic Animal Ownership) has been organized to refute claims that these animals are dangerous to the general public by offering a free web resource designed to give tools and statistics based research material to private owners of exotics to fight unfair legislation.

Did you know that there are more exotic animals in private ownership than in all the zoos and sanctuaries?
This is a huge problem in the United States, as well as many other countries that allow this to happen.
Did you know that 98% of all exotic animals held as pets die before they reach age 2? And did you know that it is legal to house these animals in cages just big enough for them to stand up and turn around? There have been countless investigations all revealing the same thing: There are simply no responsible owners.
Organizations like REXANO (Responible Exotic Animal Ownership) claim to support responsible ownership. One of the leaders of REXANO kept his cougar locked up in a room no larger than a closet. Another head REXANO member owns a white tiger. That alone shows the ignorance of their organization as white tigers are born through inbreeding. Furthermore, most of these animals would have a territory of over 120 square miles in the wild. There is no way to replicate that. These animals often live on cement floors or in dirt. REXANO says it’s goal is to “protect the rights of exotic animal owners”… But what about the rights of the animals they own?
Exotic owners will often use the animals as symbols of power or uniqueness. They will often buy animals such as white tigers and golden tabbies, as well as hybrids such as ligers and tigons. All of these animals are extremely unhealthy and a lot of them need to be bred to produce a somewhat healthy one.
Breeders will often sell animals, usually cubs, online. When the animal grows up, it is very common for it to be abandoned. Keep in mind, it takes years and years to fully understand how to take care of an animal like a tiger. Most people buying them do not know how to take care of them.
There are so many cats being abandoned, that accredited animal shelters have to decline hundreds, if not, thousands of cats each year. Most cats in sanctuaries are from the horrible exotic pet trade.
