re: LSU has identified a potential Mike VII

Jody with “Animal Adventures”, a sanctuary based in Okeechobee Florida, is depicted embracing his tiger cub named Dahlia at the Daytona Beach Boardwalk and Amusement area in Florida, where he was selling encounters to “play and pet” the cub for $25.00. The appeal and accessibility of cub encounters are rarely scrutinized. This particular cub encounter was located between a loud “Slingshot” ride and roller coaster, where Dahlia was made to pose for pictures with paying customers 12 hours a day for a week under these stressful conditions. It is illegal to sell encounters with big cats after they are 40lbs. under Florida law. The 5-month-old cub in poor health was above the weight limit for these standards, which poses a danger for her as well as the public. 2013.
