A Brazilian family lives with seven tigers in its garden and insists that the animals are not dangerous as long as you show them respect.

Ary Borges is 43 years old, lives in Maringa, a town near Sao Paolo, and rescued the first two tigers from a circus eight years ago.

Wanting to secure their survival, he launched a breeding program in his own yard, but had to put an end to it after the authorities found out that he was doing it without a permit.
