WWF? Isn’t that for wrestlers?

First stop at Harbin: Siberian Tiger Park, a man-made safari with huge tigers and ligers (yes, lion + tiger = liger) roaming next to an empty construction site. The amazing (or rather, shocking) thing about this park is that you can watch the tigers rip a live animal apart upon request. And your choice on the menu: chicken (40 yuan), duck (100 yuan), pheasant (100 yuan), sheep (600 yuan) or a goddamn cow for 1500 yuan. Its like watching National Geographic wildlife LIVE without cable static.

A local tourist on our bus ordered a sheep for the spectacle. We waited for 20 minutes before a van pulled up and shoved a frightened little sheep out the door. Everyone rushed to one side of the bus and pressed their cameras against the windows.

The sheep moved two steps, let out a “baaa” and was immediately pounced by a dozen tigers. That was barely 2 seconds. The crowd went wild as the tigers dragged the sheep away. Video cameras were everywhere. From the distance, I could hear the poor little sheep go “baaaaaa….” before it slowly faded.
