Britain's very own Tiger King's run-down enclosures and dead cats kept in freezer
Britain's very own Tiger King, Terry Moore, was found guilty of a number of animal welfare offences at St Albans Crown Court in January While Joe Exotic earned a huge name for himself when he appeared on the hit Netflix documentary, Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness, the UK had their very own Tiger King with Terry Moore. The 78-year-old reached TV stardom and befriended a few pals in the showbiz industry before a police raid at his Hertfordshire-based Cat Survival Trust. Dilapidated conditions were discovered at the location, with sickly and dying big cats living in squalor in their enclosures. The frozen carcasses of 26 endangered animals were found in chests of freezers, and it was soon revealed that a vet hadn't visited the location in years. Terry's leg had to be amputated after a male puma tore into him after a security door fell off the puma's hide when he entered the enclosure. Officers said in a statement at the time: 'Police were called to Codicote Road, Welwyn, at 4.04pm on Tuesday 5 November, following reports of a medical emergency. Officers attended the scene alongside colleagues from the ambulance service. The incident involved a man and a big cat that is caged on site. "The man, in his 70s, was transported to hospital via air ambulance with serious injuries and has received specialist treatment. He remains in a stable condition. The scene was quickly contained and there is no wider threat to the public." Terry also spoke about the incident in a recent interview, revealing: "I was losing so much blood. It took me ten minutes hitting it with a broom, I called my wife and she helped bash it on the head. The cat freaked out. It is pure luck I had the phone and broom to hand, I wouldn't be here if the air ambulance hadn't come." Britain's Tiger King was found guilty of a number of animal welfare offences at St Albans Crown Court in January, resulting in his trust being closed down. The 28 animals at the trust were either rehomed or euthanised due to their health issues. Terry was given a £14,380 fine and banned from having animals for five years. However, Terry maintains that he hasn't done anything wrong and defended having freezers filled with dead cats, including a snow leopard that died in the late 70s. He claimed to The Sun: "We weren't allowed to sell the carcasses because of wildlife trade problems. So all I could do was put them in the freezers. We had two freezers full of big cats." Terry revealed he sometimes euthanised the cats himself by placing them in a box before sealing a plastic bag over it and filling the box with carbon dioxide. After the raid, he was charged and found guilty of four counts of animal cruelty and using animals for commercial gain without a licence. The four counts were concerning a wildcat called Hamish, a Bengal called Jasmine, a jungle cat named Lily and a caracal. However, Terry was cleared of eight counts.

Shamed UK Tiger King's sick confession about dead cats stuffed in FREEZER as creepy life in hoarder hellhole revealed
AS a 'tame' 14st male puma ripped Terry Moore's foot off his leg, he thought he was a dead man. "I was losing so much blood. It took me ten minutes hitting it with a broom, I called my wife and she helped bash it on the head," the 78-year-old says. 18 Britain's 'Tiger King' Terry Moore now uses a wheelchair after being attacked by a puma and losing a foot Credit: w8media 18 His big cat sanctuary has been closed and is in a dilapidated state Credit: w8media 18 Our exclusive pictures show how the abandoned cages have been left to the elements Credit: w8media 18 Moore stashed frozen carcasses of dead cats in his freezers Credit: w8media "The cat freaked out. It is pure luck I had the phone and broom to hand, I wouldn't be here if the air ambulance hadn't come." The November 5 attack, which unfolded after a security door fell off the puma's hide as Moore entered its enclosure, forced doctors to amputate his right leg below the knee. The mauling was the culmination of a stranger-than-fiction downfall for the man dubbed 'Britain's Tiger King', who at his height befriended showbiz heavyweights like Katy Perry and reached TV stardom. That occurred before a police raid at his Hertfordshire-based Cat Survival Trust uncovered a hellish compound of dilapidated enclosures filled with dying, emaciated and disease-ridden big cats living in squalor. Frozen carcasses of critically endangered animals were found in chest freezers and a vet hadn't visited in years. Moore was found guilty of multiple animal welfare offences at St Albans Crown Court in January and The Cat Survival Trust was closed down. The surviving 28 animals were rehomed or euthanised due to significant health issues. Moore, who is waiting to receive a prosthetic leg, was handed a £14,380 fine and banned from keeping animals for five years. Now living as an amputee in a static caravan whiling away his days immersed in conspiracy theories, he denies any wrongdoing. In an exclusive interview, the disgraced keeper doubles down on his widely discredited methods and makes a harrowing confession about the events that led to dead cats being found stuffed in his freezer. And our pictures reveal the extraordinary decline of his once-thriving sanctuary, which now lies abandoned and overgrown with weeds. Britain's 'Tiger King' Dr Terry Moore stars in Snow Leopards of Leafy London doc "It was a smear campaign, that's all it was", a delusional Moore told The Sun of the allegations against him. For 48 years, the wildlife nut wowed TV audiences on The Paul O'Grady Show, Daybreak and Animal Planet with his private collection of the world's rarest big cats. Starting with ocelots and elusive Scottish wild cats in his garden in Stevenage, he grew his operation and, in 1977, bought an unassuming 11.5-acre site just off the A1 in Codicote for £30,000. There, alongside wife Judith, he founded the Cat Survival Trust, a charity taking in cast-offs from British and European zoos with a dream of saving species on the brink of extinction. He said: "They were cats that would have been put down, old and aged cats, cats with long-term illnesses. "We did a lot of studies looking at population behaviour. I went around the world lecturing and attended conferences." Over the years Moore amassed "over 200" big cats, ranging from critically endangered snow leopards, which hail from the Himalayas, to jungle-dwelling jaguars and desert-native caracals. He invested millions into building the facility, which has dozens of enclosures. The site was not open to the public but those who paid membership fees were granted tours and photography days with the animals. Terrence Moore knew how endangered these species were, understood their vulnerability to exploitation and should have been there to protect them Detective Constable Beth Talbot But online reviews of the sanctuary revealed a raft of dangerous practices taking place, including a photo of two kids sticking their fingers through a cage to stroke a Snow Leopard. One review warned: "The place is a complete junkyard... If you love animals please don't come here, it's heartbreaking. "What also got me on edge was that the guide touched these animals through the bars, I did not feel safe here." While the trust made around £7,000 a year from photography days, it was the millions of pounds in donations and gifts in wills left by supporters that kept the site, which cost £5,000 a month to run, afloat. One person left £250,000 to the sanctuary. Moore was eventually found guilty on seven counts of using an endangered animal species for commercial gain without a licence. 18 Moore is now holed up in a caravan on the site Credit: w8media 18 He previously appeared on The Paul O'Grady Show, Animal Planet and Daybreak Credit: Facebook 18 A frozen jungle cat discovered in one of the freezers Credit: SWNS 18 Moore sanctuary was described as a 'hoarder's paradise' Credit: SWNS 18 Investigators found homeopathic remedies rather than widely-accepted medicine Credit: SWNS He said: "We had no help from the Government, that's why we had to do the photo days, the visits. "It's what kept us going. We didn't do it to make a profit." Following intelligence received from the National Wildlife Crime Unit, officers from Hertfordshire Constabulary, accompanied by a vet, raided the site in July 2022. Inside, they discovered animals being treated with homeopathic remedies and others suffering from diseases which Moore had not sought any veterinary care for in years. The site, described by one rescuer as "a hoarder's paradise", appeared to be a twisted scientific experiment based on Moore's rejection of conventional medicine and preference for natural remedies. The place is a complete junkyard... If you love animals please don't come here, it's heartbreaking Online reviewer Evidence presented in court showed he failed to source much-needed medical help for some of the big cats he was responsible for, which were eventually put down. Blood-soaked food preparation areas were found to be lacking appropriate hygiene standards and the enclosures were deemed insecure. Harrowing confession Yet one of the most harrowing discoveries at the site was two chest freezers containing the carcasses of 26 big cats. In an extraordinary admission, Moore now says these creatures, which included a snow leopard, had died in the late 1970s and had been frozen for nearly 50 years. The police said he failed to seek an appropriate cremation option. He claimed: "We weren't allowed to sell the carcasses because of wildlife trade problems. "So all I could do was put them in the freezers. We had two freezers full of big cats." In an even darker revelation, Moore said he would euthanize the animals himself by placing them in a box before sealing a plastic bag over the top and filling it with carbon dioxide. This causes the animal to panic before suffocating to death. "Two minutes and they're dead", he says, chillingly, before ridiculing the conventional veterinary practice of a lethal injection. 18 Moore became a big name and appeared on multiple TV shows Credit: Ken McKay/Shutterstock 18 The animal keeper with Canadian bobcats Credit: T Moore 18 He's been compared to Joe Exotic, from the Netflix show Tiger King Credit: Alamy Police said there were no records of animal deaths kept at the site, records which Moore claims were lost when his computer "went up in smoke". Moore was eventually found guilty of four counts of animal cruelty and using animals for commercial gain without a licence. The charges related to a wildcat named Hamish, a Bengal cat named Jasmine, a jungle cat named Lily and an unnamed caracal. He was cleared of eight counts, namely against two snow leopards, a jaguar, an Amur leopard, a Eurasian lynx kitten, a hybrid cat, geese, and a serval. Following Moore's conviction, a team of 20 rescuers, led by Cam Whitnall, of the Big Cat Sanctuary in Smarden, Kent, and James Cork, from its sister site Hertfordshire Zoo, worked round the clock for three months to rescue the big cats left behind at the sanctuary. Most were nursed back to health but Comet, a seriously rare Amur leopard, had to be euthanised along with Jags the jaguar, Eurasian lynxes Mrs Pudding and Sally and a serval called Evie. All that remains of the doomed sanctuary are rows upon rows of eerie, overgrown and collapsing enclosures with signs reading: 'KEEP AWAY - THEY BITE!'. 18 The enclosures are now filled with overgrown grass and shrubbery Credit: w8media 18 Signs nailed to the posts are the only signs of the animals that once roamed inside Credit: w8media 18 The site was found to have multiple health and safety concerns Credit: w8media Where did the big cats come from? By Josh Saunders EXOTIC animals have been imported here since the days of the British empire, but their popularity boomed in the 1960s. It was "extremely fashionable" to own a big cat, but by 1976, the Government clamped down with the Dangerous Wild Animals Act. The law ensured the 'pets' had to be registered and provided with suitable living conditions. Many pets were surrendered to zoos and those that couldn't find a new home were put down. As a result, some owners released big cats into the wild - including Lew Fowley, who moved his pride of lions from Birmingham to the Moors and Malvern Hills. TV animal trainer Mary Chipperfield allegedly set several animals free into the Dartmoor wilderness. Abandoning animals in the countryside wasn't illegal due to a loophole, which was amended by 1981. As legislation tightened further over the decades, Rick Minter claims more big cats were released into the wild. Moore's downfall bears a haunting resemblance to the demise of Joe Exotic in the Netflix hit series Tiger King. While slamming Exotic as "an idiot" and "a total showman", he counts Carole Baskin - Joe's nemesis and the target of his murder-for-hire plot which landed him with a 21-year jail term - as a good friend and a "quite amazing" person. Disgraced Moore admits he misses his animals but has no interest in owning another big cat. He is currently re-wilding the dilapidated site despite claiming he has been offered £9million by housing developers. Reflecting on the ordeal, he said: "The animals weren't unhealthy. Yes, you could make every enclosure bigger. But did I get any help from the Government? "Did they pay anything towards the animals we took in from them, or from members of the public that might have released them into the wild? I had no help from them at all!" 18 Big cats were 'forced to live in squalor' at Moore's zoo Credit: Hertfordshire Police 18 One of the dirty freezers, which contained frozen dead animals Credit: SWNS 18 A team of 20 rescuers retrieved many of the surviving big cats Credit: Andrew Styczynski Detective Constable Beth Talbot, from the North Herts Local Crime Unit, who led the investigation, said Moore's case was "complex and unique". She said: 'It is clear from the evidence that the Cat Survival Trust was poorly run. "Terrence Moore knew how endangered these species were, understood their vulnerability to exploitation and should have been there to protect them. "However, several animals at the site were in a sorry state and suffered at the hands of a man who should have looked after them. 'This case showed how Moore had a distaste for modern veterinary medicine and failed to hold accurate records of his animals, some of which face extinction in the wild. The sanctuary should have been a safe haven." Senior Crown Prosecutor in CPS Thames and Chiltern, Jan Muller, added: "Moore exploited some of the animals in his care, leaving them to suffer unnecessarily. 'Evidence showed him failing to source much-needed medical help for some of the big cats he was responsible for. "These animals were forced to live in squalor and Moore neglected them to such an extent that some died from illnesses that could have been treated."
