Does anybody watch Hard Copy? If so, then you might have seen this story (it aired on August 21, 1998). If not, then read on to find out how you can help 60 year old Betty Young and her tigers. She feeds 5200 tigers in her backyard in Arkansaw and is in trouble. Most tigers are orphans and rejected pets that she takes in. She has been doing this for 15 years and is 4 months behind on her mortgage payment. People, companies, farmers and butchers routinely drop off food for her. But that's not enough. She needs money to buy more food and make her mortgage payment to keep her sanctuary open. If you wish to help then write her at:
