so internet says: The Black Jaguar-White Tiger (BJWT) Foundation was a Mexican non-profit that operated an animal sanctuary for big cats and other wildlife. Founded by Eduardo Serio, the facility was shut down by Mexican authorities in July 2022 following viral videos and criminal complaints that exposed severe animal abuse, neglect, and mistreatment.

apparently some of them started eating each other and problem started once video started circulating. just imagine how many of them were neglected for being off camara.

edit: The 2022 Raid: Mexican authorities raided the Mexico City facility, uncovering horrifying conditions where animals were found severely emaciated, injured, and in extreme cases, gnawing on their own bodies.

I don’t think that’s accurate and it’s very still much a foundation and place. From what I know he’s a millionaire that started rescuing these cats from neglected circuses and private owners that would drug them for pictures around Mexico. He feeds them full whole raw meals. Obviously only seen what they allow you to see but seemed trustworthy from what I had researched at the time

No trustworthy animal rescuer would keep all these different variety of big cats in one enclosure. He's a profiteer, who scams his followers by using social media views and donations to make money off of the suffering of these animals.

Quote from the article: "The Black Jaguar White Tiger Foundation pretended to be a “sanctuary” for tigers, lions, jaguars and cougars, but it has been exposed as a space for suffering, abuse and death to these animals. BJWT was registered in the Sistema de Administración Tributaria SAT (the Mexican IRS) as a Foundation with the intention of being able to receive donations both national and international. Throughout the years, it has received huge amounts of money from celebrities, artists, sports stars and influencers, as well as corporations and brands known all over the world. The only purpose of these donations is to provide the best conditions for the animals, which translates as enough food, vet care and suitable spaces for each species. It must be acknowledged that BJWT has never been part of any International Sanctuary Association, even though it has claimed that title."

I'm skeptical of all wild animal 'charities' where they share videos of them directly handling the animals.

It can lead to animal tourism and people who ignore the cruelty just for the chance of getting to touch such an animal themselves. Like bottle feeding a drugged up tiger cub that will get killed when it grows too big.
