Can someone catch us non-Baton Rouge folk up

There is a shitty truck stop called The Tiger Truck Stop or something like that located about 15 mins to the west of Baton Rouge on I10. At that truck stop , they had a live tiger on display. The cage for their live tiger was horribly inadequate. But, for whatever reason, was not deemed illegal. My guess is Louisiana doesn't have too many tiger laws on the books.

And this sheds light to most of America in showing that most do not want to have wild animals caged in poor conditions.

I would imagine they die of starvation or eaten by other animals before the cancer gets them.

Poor Tony. I cried when I saw him. I wish LSU could have adopted him, if only to live out the remainder of his life not in a concrete cell.

Shite truck stop in Gross Tete that keeps a depressed tiger in a cage. No big cat deserves to live like that. The fricks will prob get another one.

Man, this is great.

When PETA was petitioning and filing suit and being generally irritating to the guy who owned Tony the Tiger, this board was squarely on the side of the owner.

PETA and other animal rights groups tried for YEARS to remove Tony from his shitty enclosure.

This board--especially the OT--continually and automatically took the anti-Animal Rights side, because Animal Rights activists are generally liberals.

Now that Tony is dead and gone, this board declares his home a "shite hole", and the tiger had "no life".

This is fricking rich.

I'd probably eat a tiger steak if I had the opportunity.
