At least you gave Ozzy a dignified life and death so thank you for this. I hope charma runs back to those, who buy such an adorable "wild" animal as a pet without thinking a minute of its needs an to which sice it will grow.
Kidnapped tigers, spending money to buy them from the exotic animal marketplace creates incentive to continue to kidnap the few tigers that remain in the wild.
rand0m0mg 13:48 . Watch the video before you make stupid fucking accusations like that. He even said that he found Ozzy and many of his bones were broken and he was unable to move. Do you really think that the tiger was going to survive longer than 2 days if he hadn't "kidnapped" him?
You said it! Talk about some zoos in poor countries they keep wild animals in little cage you can't even walk 10 steps there, it's horrible so that animals are extreme angry, zoo is just a buisness and zero animal rights...
In chinese astrology horse born (thats me) are best friends with tiger born. Tiger born people are very bold brave and courageous and positive. Its no wonder Michael would adopt 2 tigers and do what he has done with them. Horses are free spirited fun and wilful.
@Stoned Noob: One of the tigers Michael had but Ozzy unfortunately passed away. Before Michael got him as a cub, Ozzy was malnourished and was severely lacking calcium and his legs were deformed. Michael took care of him, got Ozzy seen by the vet, and managed to get him to 2 years of life but Ozzy also had intestinal and pelvic problems 😥
Stoned Noob have you watched this video yet? He explains about Ozzy here. Also there's a video on this channel called, "my name is ozzy and this was my life" check it out.
umm, how does that sound weird lol. Would you rather live 20 years of constant happiness, or 100 toxic and terrible years? same thing sister i'd like to disclose, this aint hating, just my opinion!!
No apologies needed Michael! You did this for love, nothing else. Thank You for sharing your secret, I’ve always wondered where you got your Tigers from. Take good care of your heart and spirit ❤️🐾
There's nothing wrong with your English. Love your videos. I just came across your channel a couple of weeks ago and and have seen many of your videos with Enzo and Diego. I'm not sure I'm ready to watch the videos with Ozzy in them yet - I feel sad that he passed away. But I know you took very good care of him and he had a good life. I would like to see all of them when the time is right. Please don't delete any of them. Thank you.
It took me about 5 minutes at Edinburgh zoo to get a tiger to not only come over to me but chuff back at me as well. I was amazed because they're semi-wild at the zoo
KaleidoscopeEyesTV Animals at a zoo are not wild or semi-wild. They are usually bred in captivity or rescued but have a lot of human contact. Any animal with normal human contact is not wild.
Yes! The world does NEED more people like him. There are people all over the world who are helping animals in need,there are animal conservationists trying to keep as many wildlife from going extinct,and millions more who do even the tiniest thing to make an animals' life a better one. I know & understand that very well because I'm a rescuer for animals since I was a child,eons ago! I rescued mainly feral cats,kittens,a few dogs,and I know what great care & LOVE can do for any creature! They thrive! They flourish and grow and live long happy much loved lives. It's so heartwarming to actually see the progressions from scared,abandoned,hurt,beaten down animals turn into the beautiful,gentle,sweet cats they become,with LOVE. Yes,there are some exceptions where a feral cat will always remain "feral",but with me,they know they've been saved and they know I will always be here for them,I may not be able to turn some into "lap cats",and it's OK. I respect their "space". I love them all equally and I'll never turn my back on any animal in need of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE,because that's what they give us in return.😊❤
I have been watching all his videos recently. It's really refreshing. Taking of care of animals who requires high maintenance takes a great deal of effort, patience, courage and time...
Even though when I watched your video “my name is Ozzie and this was my life” I cried, I was left wondering what happened to him? I’m so glad you made this video because now I know, and it makes me love your channel even more, because it’s real. I rescue animals and its a miracle when one falls into your life unexpectedly with health issues and you are able to give them the best life you can as long as you can. Never apologize, your animals are beautiful and magnificent and your videos always make me happy! Thank you for sharing about something that I know is never easy. You will never have tears unless you know there was much happiness before. Keep Sharing it all, I’ll keep watching!
Michael, I'm enjoying the videos with your comments, the stories about your tigers, their monkeys, their dogs and cats, I think it's more dynamic, more friendly, even
Michael keep doing what your doing, Tigers like many other big cats are on the endangered species list. Enzo and Diego have the perfect life, full of personality and to watch these 2 cats rough house and just play is fantastic. The majority of us would have no idea that Tigers could have such crazy personalities without channels such as yours. Thank you for your videos and allowing us into your home.
Love watching you, Enzo, Ozzy, Diego and all your animals. 👊💞 Please don't ever delete those videos. They're precious and I will watch them repeatedly. I've taken in 2 feral cats and I believe that they choose you.. They choose to be there, as much as you want them to be there. Thank you for sharing them with us.. 💕💜💙🐾🐾
I cried watching this. Discovered your channel today because i was searching about pet cats, and I got attached instantly. I am amazed by how you love your tigers and sad that Ozzy was gone too soon, but also glad you didn't take down his videos coz he's adorable.💙
Michael: I could watch your vlogs all day. That's probably what's best about them is that you're just being yourself and not putting on airs. Plus, your voice is pleasant and keeps our interest. I don't think you should delete any video that you don't want to. These videos were and are your life. Although, I still can't bring myself to watch any of Ozzy's videos yet. It's just too sad for me. Looking forward to your next vlog 👏😊!
Mom Of 5 Hi, I HAVE watched Michael's Vlogs and videos ALL DAY ! And I know what you mean about Ozzy's videos ! I also was so sad, I cried through the main two, then watched again a couple of times, and cried again ! It broke my heart ! But I'm so glad I know now. And Ozzy was such a sweet , extremely unforgettable Tiger ! He will always be in our hearts, so his memory will go on forever ! God Bless you Sweetie !! ❤
At 14:50 he wouldn't let you out of his area. Now that is a cool memory. I can imagine you staying with him for hours till he felt safe enough for you to leave.
The end of that video when they carried Ozzy out was heartbreaking. I felt it because old feelings of my animals passing away just washed over.. But it's a part of loving something, when you lose that animal or person it hurts very much. That video reminded me of that. Don't delete it.
Bless your Heart, Micheal, you gave Ozzy a good two years, what a wonderful gift you gave him. I've only watch you vids for a few months and now watching these from the past. Lovely videos from a lovely man.
You are an amazing person. This takes a lot of courage to rescue a tiger. Because of responsibility but also because you have to be prepared for people criticizing you without listening to the story. Thank you for taking care of them. They are amazing animals 🐯
I truly believe having a happy, healthy life with you was in the tigers best interest. You give them the love, care and attention they need and you aren't delusioned by the affection you have for them. They are beautiful, but very dangerous animals and you're fully aware of that. I commend you for taking good care of these animals, they obviously like you as much as you like them and that is important. If I were a tiger I would rather have a nice, peaceful long life with someone who treats me like family as opposed to being locked in a cramped cage behind thick bars for stupid people to gawk at. Have a lovely day sir. P.S. Don't worry about your English or editing!!! We understand you and your filming is fine. But I do recommend you make sure to put tags in the description to help promote your channel. And I think an intro would be cool :) Otherwise, record however you want to!!
*Tejas* ___That's (partly) a sensible comment.....Animals live in the "now", and are generally regarded to have no concepts of being "healthy"or "happy"......they *do* however are regarded to have a concept of making their situation as comfy as possible, most prominently ofcourse, a regular supply of food....and (if possible) spreading their genes.... From the condition his animals are in, it's obvious that "this guy" treats them with the respect as far as he's able to do.
Tejas Even if they aren't able to define it and think about it like humans, survival and being healthy are like the main goals/instincts for any animal.
Housecats often make that greeting noise also, it's so subtle and soft (because of their small size) ,that most people don't notice it.....or think it's a purr......😽rrr
PaulLonden my ginger tomcat is showing the side of the feline ancestor, he makes the tiger greeting sound everytime he sees me or everytime I touch him suddenly when he’s sleeping, it’s shorter and sharper though, so cute those noises they make.
Please do not apologize! It's natural, and real. I LOVE your vlogs! I am a newer subscriber, and have been binge watching, and sharing!! I am a huge fan of Enzo and Diego! Magnificent animals you have there!!
People always love to act like they know best in the youtube comment section. Don't pay them any mind. You know Enzo and Diego in a way they will never have the opportunity to. I hope I meet my own Enzo one day, whatever species they turn out to be!
I'm definitely gonna try the chuffing when I go to the zoo next. I love our zoo. Our animals are well taken care of and have lots of space and we even have a program called the wilds which allows animals to roam freely across a lot of acres of land and takes people through like a safari. The only animals caged are the wild cats and the African wild dogs. But even those have acres of land in their caged areas. It's amazing. I really love what you're doing. Animals are my passion. I love them all and I always am happy to see someone really taking good care of them.
Hi thanks for the comment! , where in the world are You ?and the zoo? Just practise the chuffing before going ,it gets much better after the first 30 minutes .
michael jamison I will definitely practise before hand. I live in Columbus Ohio. My zoo is the Columbus zoo and aquarium. It is considered one of the best zoos in the america at the moment.
I love how you take care of your tigers i have seen so many videos of tiger being treated poorly looked up in tiny cages you clearly care alot about them i dont think tiger should be kept as pets tho but i feel like your tiger has a much better live than so many tigers in zoos
I can't even begin to explain how much I love watching these vlogs and videos! It gives us an insight on how your life is, and especially in such a different environment and circumstances than here in America. Thanks!
Thank you for the vlogs. I do have a little question about their "language"- other than when they're really angry, do the tigers use their tails to communicate? Do they convey their moods with them like a regular cat? Please leave the video with Ozzy up. Here's why: 1. He's an important part of the tigers' and your history. He's a key figure in it. 2. I think if you take the video down it would be like trying to remove a deceased family member from the old family photo albums. 3. When we see that video of Ozzy it gives us a chance to say goodbye, in a manner of speaking. 4. It helps answer questions that new viewers such as myself may have that may be tedious or time-consuming for you to have to keep going back to. The video is sad, yes, but it's important. Thank you for your time Mr. Jamison.
I am glad I came across your videos... they are very interesting. You seem like a very nice gentleman, usually people with a lot of money are not very personable and/or nice. You seem very genuine! You love all your animals and that is refreshing to watch
You are such an unique and inspiring person. Keep the videos real because people can see and feel what a wonderful, intriguing and giving person you are. Your family must be so proud of you!! And your Boys truly do love you. Your videos make my day and always keep me smiling. Except the sad sad video of Ozzys death but he was part of the family and deserves to be included in your vlogs. We will never forget the Boy who died too soon. Be good, be safe and be proud! And do some extra chuffs for the tigers on behalf of your fans. ,
Thank you so much for letting us see you Michael ..... you are a cool looking guy. Thanks so much for sharing your animals with us. You are a really fantastic person to do what you do’
Glad you left the Ozzy video up. It was one of the first ones I saw and it made me want to find more videos about him because he was absolutely amazing!!!!
Wish I would have seen this video months ago! It explains so much. You speak from your heart, honestly. You have the soul of a rescuer, love animals and they make your life complete. Thank God for people like you because so many need to be taught how to treat animals.You are a great example. Because I have rescued I know how difficult it can be, phycially, emlotionally. Even though Ozzy's last video stunned me it was real and gave some closure. He lives on in your heart, videos and probably his spirit visits you as my passed pets do. You are a guardian angel for those animals! Blessings, Michael
Was so happy to hear about how you came to have Ozzy. It was sad about how his life was before you, but so happy that you are what he had to experience for the last couple years of his life. I grow to love you more and more each time I watch one of your videos.❤️🐅🐅
I'm glad I found your channel. I love tigers!! I even have a couple of tattoos of tigers!! Ozzy and Enzo are absolutely beautiful cats. That look and seem very happy living with you!! I also love all your pictures of tigers in your house...from what I could see. I'd rather listen to someone who is real and not fake. Like you said no one is perfect. Just keep doing what you're doing. Mistakes or no mistakes I will always like your channel. It's real. Thank you for sharing your tigers with all of us. I'm REALLY glad that there is people like you that take in these big cats because some idiot(s) wanted one for a pet then they turn around and don't want them anymore because they got to big or they can't afford to feed them. My granddaughter and I went to a big cat rescue center about 45 miles away from where we live. It was truly amazing. We went during feeding time in the morning. That was awesome to see. Bless you for who you are and what you're doing!!
I hated to see you bring Ozzie out of the bushes only because I knew he was not coming back. I felt a tiny touch of what you must have felt. The best part is that not every situation turns out great and to understand that helps deal with life. I think you do a wonderful job with how you speak on the videos. You say what you think, express what you know and share just what it means to be the keeper of an animal like these. They are not the same as the tame kitties but for myself I have had an opportunity to learn so much about one of God's creations that I would never have a chance to do. Thank you for who you are and your willingness to share!
Michael your English is good. Thanks for all of your videos and these vlogs are the best. You need a tripod or stack of books on a table. LoL give your arm a rest. I along with all your animals have so much respect for you. Also I say if and when you decide to start a family you'll be a great dad.
I just can say, I love what you have done with your tigers, I'm from Mexico, I don't speak a good English, nor write it accurate, but I try as you do to comunicate. Thank you for sharing us the magnificent tigers you have. And keep being such a Good guy, I didn't know the history os Ozzy, but when I see his paws the way he walked, I realize that he was not healthy, and that is what I tried to make understand other persons, because they think you have them because your pride, but No, I see you are a good man that loves life and you give them a chance to be happy. Have a nice day, and greetings to your wife.
This person is one of the greatest people I’ve ever seen. I’ve never seen someone have that much patience with how many animals there are in his house. A very humble man who prioritises his fellow companions over anything else.
You are a gift Michael. You brighten my day. If the world had more people like you in it we would all be better off. God bless you and your tigers and your dogs and your cats and..... 😊
Michael you’re videos are perfect😃 love binging your channel and you have years worth👍🏽 plus I learn something new EVERY video! The Calcium helped I’m sure but it was the love and compassion that you gave is what really saved Ozzy❤️
Michael don't need to apologise mate we watch your videos because we all enjoy them and you make us all happy just by making these vids and sharing your lovely animal family with us
Mate, thank you for sharing all these stories with us. Im impressed with everything you do and your love for animals that is second to none. Doesnt matter what we would like, its your channel and you do what you want. If you ask people what to do, youre just gonna get a lot of different answers and youre nowhere quickly. I love every video you upload. Its such an interesting life youre leading. Honestly i dont care what you do to be able to sustain this lifestyle as long as you are an amazing animal protector. As long as youre not into kids trafficking business, youre aces in my book. You did so much good for all these animals and world is lucky to have you. Out of all people that have lots of money, youre spending it in best possible way. By caring and doing good deeds towards all these animals. If i could choose who to be in next life, i would choose you. Being surrounded by animals in a beautiful home full of love and kindness and having tigers (by far my favourite animal) too is a dream of mine and youre living it and im really glad because of it. I wish you all the best always and i would like that you live 400 years more and be by far the richest person on the planet cause you would do so much good with it. Best of luck and please pet those 2 boys for me. I love watching them. Brings me incredible joy.
Thanks for telling this story its amazing I watch these all the time such beautiful animals much respect for your path these cats and animals all love you its quite something to see harmony ...
Michael! I loved this video! I go visit the tigers at my local zoo all the time. I try to visit them once to three times per week. The last three visits, the male has chuffed at my husband and me several times. 😍 It makes my day. I love them. I didn't even know what chuffing was. I just talk to them in a high voice like i do my cats at home! They love it. ❤
I started watching your channel 5 years ago. That video with enzo sleeping on the couch was the first one I saw. Ever since then I've watched your videos on and off. I'd just like to say thank you and good job with the tigers. Your videos always put a smile on my face. You are putting out truly unique and interesting content. You also seem like a great individual. There's no fake personality, which is rare for youtube these days. I'm from Scandinavia as well so your videos are very different to what I'm used to.
Yes that was the first video of Enzo that went viral ,I also watched it again last week , thank You very much for Your kind words , Your comment just put a smile on my face . It is really so great to hear from people all over the world that has been watching these videos !
I started watching your videos during the last year... probably 6 months I didnt get to Ozzy till this week..... people should see it on their own time
Love your video and your tigers and also that beautiful little orange girl who was trying so hard to get your attention. She loves you! My little Ragdoll kitties chuff at me from time to time. It doesn't sound like a big tiger's chuff, but it is definitely recognizeable and I chuff right back to them.
I just want to say thank you for your video's...i just recently stumbled upon them...it is great what you do for these amazing animals...the love and compassion that you have for them is truly a god send...you are amazing...
Hi Michael you are a very wise and genuine guy I my daughter and myself are really enjoying your vlogs, what you are doing for all of your animal friends is just fantastic!! Xx
MICHAEL I'VE BEGAN MY OWN YOU TUBE CHANNEL AND IT'S NOT AS EASY AS IT LOOKS, I DON'T YET HAVE THE EQUIPMENT AND ALL THE PROFESSIONAL STUFF I SEE YOU TUBERS USING. THANK YOU FOR BEING TRANSPARENT AND REAL AND LETTING US IN YOUR LIFE. KEEP ROCKIN' BRO.
Thanks, Michael,...I could see that was painful for you to go there. Hope that satisfies the curious. At least there's a video to refer to instead of repeating. You've done so well by all your tigers, esp the one who needed it the most. 😌💓🐾🐯🐯🐯
Michael, I adore your love and respect for the cats and how you tune into their energy. I especially loved the bit about you greeting the cat at the zoo and his reaction to you. There's a lot to learn from you that we shouldn't ever forget, like making an effort to communicate with animals on their level and having patience with them. I truly admire what you do and hope to follow in your footsteps!
Thank you for sharing that amazing story! That should not have been a secret for so long. Your story, and your life is a dream for so many of us! You have nothing to apologize for!
Of course I get something positive from your videos. Your videos are the best. I love your videos. I could watch them all day. I can’t believe it’s been 3 years. I think about Ozzy all the time. He was such a loving and playful tiger. His personality was amazing. Always put a smile on our faces. He will always be in our hearts. RIP Ozzy xx
