"Zetita", a 20-day old tiger cub, lies in his pen at the home of his owner Jose Juarez Gil, popularly known as Pepe Tigre, in Cancun, Mexico, Tuesday Nov. 9, 2010. Juarez Gil, who has led a decades long struggle to open a zoo in Cancun, is facing new troubles after one of his adult tigers, the father of "Zetita", injured a man on Monday. He claims there is a campaign to take away his animals and his land, while animal defense activists say he can't properly care for the tigers, some of which have died. (AP Photo/Dario Lopez-Mills)
