Siberian Tiger Foundation
They took $1500.00 from me towards the purchase of a white tiger cub for public education and partial ownership

I was attending an expo in Columbus, Ohio where I me the people with the tigers. My girlfriend went to see their compound, for which they sell time spent eith the tigers in an open area per hour. I talked with the people (David & Diana Cziraky) several times, and we always talked about the plight of the white tigers.

Diana informed me that they were awaiting the birth of a cub and for a price, I would be given papers stating that I was part owner, and that I could have the cub for visitation until it was around 6 months old. I came up with $1500.00, which I sent to them registered mail. I corresponded with them quite a bit via e-mail, fax and phone. Then they needed more money, and not really being able to spare what I did, could not come up with more.

My dream was gone and I regretfully asked for my money back, and I didn't hear from them again until I received a letter from their lawyer, stating that they had filed for bankruptcy. They are, however, still in business.
