425 pound secret
add to that one very large caiman.
i'm baffled that noone ever got hurt (except for the owner) and that the "pets" looked to be in decent shape. such a beautiful tiger but boy was he scared and pissed. they showed the sharpshooter on the news dangling over the window with a camera. you could hear the tiger roar. unbelievable.

This really should not shock people as much as it did. We *are* talking about a tiger.

Weird. I was just reading an article on that while I was waiting for your entry to open in my browser. I never made the connection until I read the first line of your entry.
What was he thinking? The same thing that idiots who keep wolves and wolf-hybrids think. The same thing people who keep venomous snakes think. Probably the same thing that Roy of Siegfried and Roy thought just before the tiger grabbed him by the throat and dragged him offstage.
"He's my pet. I raised him from a cub/pup/egg/kitten. I know him, and he'd never hurt anyone."
If anything had happened to anyone, that poor tiger would have gotten the blame when it wasn't it's fault it was being raised in inappropriate conditions.

My friend, if you're close, then I'm imminent. Frankly, I could care less if the music I like is played on oldies stations and NPR (although it's a bit disturbing when the oldies station plays music from *after* my teens and early twenties). Just so long as they keep playing it, I'll feel young enough to take on the world.

With any luck you become nearsighted enough so that you are unable to make out your nakedness in the mirror while bent over pulling your jeans up.
