There may be 5,000 to 10,000 captive tigers in the U.S. No one, including government officials, knows exactly how many there are, and there is no overarching federal law regulating big cat ownership.

Captive tigers in the U.S. outnumber those in the wild. It's a problem.

Some are in roadside zoos. Some are pets. Many are abused. A lack of regulation on big cats is putting animals and humans at risk.
