Screen legend and animal activist Tippi Hedren has called on fans of Michael Jackson to donate to charity in his name.
Hedren adopted Jackson’s own two tigers Thriller and Sabu in 2005, after the singer had to close his private zoo at Neverland under financial pressure. They have lived ever since at her Roar Foundationsanctuary, the Los Angeles Shambala Preserve, with 66 other tigers, lions and big cats who were once employed in the entertainment industry, or became unwanted pets.
Tippi Hedren even went to sit with the two tigers last week and tell them that Michael Jackson had died, and the animal charity founder said simply, I hope they understood”.
