Crimea is located on the border of Russia in Eastern Europe. This is the largest park in Europe for the natural rearing of rare animals in the Crimean Tiganpark. Spread over an area of ​​more than 3 hectares, Lion Park, which is a part of Tigan Park, is the center of most tourist attractions. The number of tourists has dropped since the outbreak of the Corona epidemic, but in its first year, an average of 200,000 people visited. The biggest feature of Tiganpark is that 30 African lions can be seen roaming free in the natural environment of the Lion Park here. Tourists who are tired of seeing caged lions in the zoo get a chance to walk with the lions. People come to Tiganpark specially for a unique photo shoot with a lion. Tigan is not a government park but is owned by a man named Oleg Zubkov. Zubkov operates alone on tourist ticket income without any kind of bank loan or government help. The safari park has been running for the last 10 years, but after a woman was bitten by a lion, a court case has been registered. Attracting people with live performances of violent animals is against the law, so there is a demand to close the park. Oleg Zubkov of Tiganpark believes that if tourists stop meeting and incomes fall, more than 200 animals, including lions, tigers and giraffes, will go hungry.

The owner Zubkov lives like a family with a lion and a tiger

Born in a small Crimean village, Oleg Zubkov was interested in wildlife activities from an early age. After graduating from Kiev Naval Political College in 190, he started with a small zoo. When the ambitious Tigan Park was started in 2010, there was a huge influx of tourists. Europe in particular had an ideal place for them as they had no lionpark. Tourists are also proud to say that Tigan is the largest privately owned park in Europe. Oleg Zubkov, the park's owner, is facing a court case, imprisonment and then the Coronation period in 2020. There are many wild parks, but Elog Zubkov added a thrilling element to the live safari for tourists to get up close and personal with lions and tigers. Zubkov puts his hand in Whale's mouth. With the presence of Zubkov, the lion becomes Dia Damra. Zubkov is known to be a member of the lion family.

Who will save the lions and tigers if the park closes?

Oleg Zubkov believes that the venture was highly praised by the Crimean government when the park was prepared. Assistance was assured without any hesitation by Crimean officials. He has also proposed a zoo for children in the resort town of Evpatoria, a park for tigers and bears near Sevastopol, and a landscape park in Belogorsk. However, as the situation changes, the Crimean regime is harassing Russia. At one time there was a Russian military base near the park, so now efforts are underway to erase the park to regain that status. In fact, this is a gorgeous site that doesn't bother anyone. No construction or settlement can be seen around 10 km. Once frustrated, he even offered to adopt 40 bears. If the situation does not improve, lions and tigers will be seen in this queue at the same time.

More than 300 cases of violations of the Wildlife Act on Zubkov

Crimea was once part of Ukraine, but in 2014 Russia separated Crimea into an autonomous region. Crimean courts have filed more than 200 cases of animal harassment and violations of the Wildlife Act against the owner of Tiganpark. He is facing a number of charges of harassing the animals, ranging from feeding the animals to buffalo and unhealthy food. Oleg Zubkov is tired of appearing in the ongoing court case against him. Zubkov has been portrayed as a man who deals with predators and treats animals cruelly. However the Crimean State Veterinary Committee found no evidence that Jubkov was killing animals.

50 lions, 30 tigers were brought from the zoo in Africa

Allog Zubkov decided to build the largest safari park in Europe, with government land being allocated for Tiganpark at a token price. Having years of experience running the zoo, he started bringing animals from various zoos in Africa, Russia, Ukraine and Europe based on contacts. Zubkov knew that lion parks, while common to African countries, would be very welcome in the small mountainous and flat forest area of ​​Crimea. After much hard work, lions, giraffes and tigers were made permanent residents of the park. As a visionary, Zubkov also emphasizes breeding to increase the number of animals. He also introduces tiger and lion cubs to visitors in his park.
