They're a no-touch facility, since these are wild predators, with their predatory instincts in tact. They actually have a few tigers from a touch-the-wild-carnivores facility that was shut down when one of the animals bit a visitor (because all the animals were slated for euthanasia.)

You can get pretty close to them, though. They're inside big chain-link fences with a wood and rope secondary fence that visitors have to stand behind. You're close enough to be in the line of fire when they spray.
