Gentlebeings, a salute, please.
July 30, 2018 at 12:18 pm
A friend of mine was called to remove an animal from an apartment after the human resident was arrested after being shot in a drug deal gone bad. Frank walked into the three room apartment and walked out with a two year old tiger. The tiger is now at a sanctuary in Indiana. The police were going to shoot the tiger as "the only safe way to deal with it." One of the cops called Frank.
And yeah, I've told Frank he's fucking crazy more than once.

Wow! Good for him, to save the big cat!
People who keep exotic pets without training, not rescuers mind you, but regular people, are so often terrible people, too.

That's their standard protocol for young black men, too. Glad to see the tiger caught a break.

They were probably momentarily frozen trying to figure out what color it was.

Tell Frank he has a fan in NZ.
That’s awesome saving an endangered cat!

The black stripes confused them!

That guy has some real cojones, I will say that.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

What the fuck is a TIGER doing in a civilian house?
I get zoologists and evolutionary biologists. Even snake venom collectors so for the antidote. But what the fuck possess a layperson to think such dangerous animals are great pets?
Even with trained people, when I was at Steve Erwin's zoo, there were three trained employees in the tiger enclosure, and even that was a bit unnerving to me.
But glad they didn't have to kill it.
Think the idiot thought he was Tony in Scarface?
Even with Sigfreid and Roy, they didn't blame the tiger, but still, I really get tired of people being "shocked" when entertainers get hurt by dangerous animals or pissed off elephants.
What your friend does may be "crazy", but he isn't doing it to get attention. Animal vets and trappers that are merely concerned with the health of the animal and or simply want to move them to where they will be safe, I get that.
But no, I do not feel sorry for guys like the following.
