Tigers, Birds And Tippi Hedren

The veteran actress Tippi Hedren had such a hard time in Alfred Hitchcock's film, with all those wild birds coming down from the sky like battalions preparing for brutal attack. But she didn't learn her lesson. In 2005 she decided to take charge of 2 tigers that Michael Jackson had in the private zoo in his Neverland Ranch.

Tippi told the AFP agency that she had sat down with the tigers Thriller & Sabu, for a while then told them Michael had gone. She added that although she couldn't be sure how much telepathy exists between people and animals, nor how close the relationship was between Michael and his many animals, but she hoped the tigers understood they would never see him again.

As much an animal lover as herself and always doing all she can to defend their rights, she had frightful experiences with first the birds 'of Hitchcock', so exhausted and horrified after that scene of attack, she had broken down in the middle of the shoot and cried. Then she cried again later, this time even more terrifying, in 1981, when shooting the 'Roar', in which Tippi was both the producer and star, also appeared in it her daughter Melanie Griffith. It tells a story of a zoologists who shared his life with lions, tigers, leopards and jaguars. Once again during the shoot, about a dozen of these animals suddenly decided to chase and attack all those who were present, including Tippi.

It's then that Tippi had the idea of founding a reserve to adopt all the wild animals that had been used on films and later abandoned by the industry. There were then but they continue to incorporate more species.
