"Why can't we all live together.....after all, we all have the same blood.....and it's red," the abbot of the monastery, Pra Acharn Phoosit, pointed out.
On the frequently asked question of the tigers being drugged, the monastery's official response was: "No, they are not drugged. Tigers are nocturnal animals, so they sleep during the heat of the day. The tiger's eyes are better adapted to lower light levels than their prey. So, they can surprise their prey with greater ability in darkness. This means they are more active and hunt at night. Adult tigers are naturally lazier, whereas the cubs are more active and will play if it is not too hot."
