:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Why would anyone want to deprive a wild animal of it's natural habitat and attempt to domesticate it for their own perverse pleasure?

It's sickening!!!

You cannot domesticate a wild animal. They will always go back to their basic instincts.

That beautiful Bengal tiger must be on the endangered species list.

It does belong in the wild, not in a home!

ITA, and the article says the tiger has no claws so the "owners" must have had him declawed. :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Without his claws, he can never be released into the wild now, nor is it likely he can live with other tigers because he has no means of defence.

Pathetic!! :mad::mad:

"The owners have now hired a lawyer to try to get the animal back. They say Tigger is their baby and they will do anything they can to try to bring him home"


I hope they arrest the owners/keepers of this tiger and throw them in a cage in a Zoo in Oklahoma!!!

Disgusting arrogant human beings they must be!

& the vet that did the declawing. most decent vets won't even declaw cats anymore because it is cruel. these people s*ck!:mad::mad::mad:

[SavannahStar]

OMG ...... declawed that poor baby! :shock:

:sad0119:

[awakening2lite]

If they declawed the cat, I wouldn't be surprised to learn they also had the fang like teeth removed. Sicko's do that too.

Who sold them the tiger? They should be arrested for cruelty too.

I'm with the rest of you. Wild animals should never be raised in a private home. They belong in the wild, or at the very least, a sanctuary where they can be protected.

This poor guy, because of the declawing, will never have a normal life with other tigers.

Years ago some idiot close to my community had his "pet" lioness escape. Unbelievably, a couple of days later I stepped out on my back porch to feed my animals, and there she was. I was so startled that I just stared at her for a second and ducked back into the house, and when I peeked out she was gone. The next day she was found high up in a tree miles away, having strangled herself on her own chain.

I've always wondered if I could have done better. And although I didn't have a strong opinion about wild animals as "pets" before, I have had ever since.

All these years later but it still makes me just sick. :mad:

I think you did what any of us would have done if we saw a lion in the back yard.

It's very sad that she strangled herself on her chain.
