How to Rescue a Tiger

Award-winning news photographer Roger Allen had often taken animal photos, but never grasped how badly humans can mistreat other sentient beings.

Then he met Mely, an orangutan that had been chained all its adult life to the verandah of a waterfront house in a remote part of Borneo.

They met, touched hands, and in an instant he was converted into an impassioned animal rights campaigner.

In this stunning photography book, Roger documents the dramatic animal rescues he has brought to world attention – of lions, tigers, rhinos, dogs and bears – as well as, in many cases, their happy outcomes.
