The Black Jaguar-White Tiger Foundation (or BJWT) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) animal rescue sanctuary located in Mexico. The sanctuary hosts big cats as well as dogs and other animals.[1][2]
History
The sanctuary was founded in 2013 when businessman Eduardo Serio rescued a jaguar cub named Cielo from a pet store in Monterrey, Mexico.[2][1] It rescues big cats from circuses, breeders and zoos.[1][3] Numerous celebrities have visited the sanctuary, including Lewis Hamilton,[4][5] Khloe Kardashian,[6] Paris Hilton and The Backstreet Boys.[2] Concerns over unsafe contact between humans and big cats have garnered criticism from animal rights advocates.[6][7] The foundation is not accredited by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries.[6][8][9]
