The animal sanctuary looking after MICHAEL JACKSON's two pet tigers has complained the star is not contributing to their upkeep.
Former Hollywood actress TIPPI HEDREN agreed to look after SABU and THRILLER at her California wildlife preserve when Jackson's Neverland zoo closed. The singer was supposed to send a monthly cheque to pay for the animals' bills.
However, a spokesman for Hedren, 76, says, "Tippi needed two more tigers like a hole in the head. The upkeep of her sanctuary costs $75,000 (GBP41,000) a month and she still takes small roles to keep it running."
Jackson's spokeswoman, RAYMONE BAIN says, "I know nothing about this. We will look into it very carefully."
