Geez. Why THAT picture?!
I wonder what the decision process was like in choosing to put THAT picture on his website. What's creepy is that he thought THAT picture should be on his website - like, yea, that's what we want to see.

creepy indeed

FWIW, at the hearing last night the female representative for the group that wants the tiger removed actually referred to the Gross Tete citizens as and I quote"inbred mother f***ers" and a scuffle ensued.





I would have loved to have been there for that.

There is PETA and then there is common fricking sense. That cage is barely big enough for a german shepard. I was glad to see signs asking to 'keep the grosse tete tiger' because I knew they are now in danger of losing it.

There was or maybe still is a Tiger Truck Stop in north Louisiana on I-20 around Tallulah.

Who remembers the monkey at Fun Fair Park over by Cortana. I'd say this tiger lives in luxury comapred to that monkey.

Yes. It's at Waverly, on the Madison Parish side. You wouldn't believe what passes for "truck stops" these days due to video poker.

I love animals - I shoot 'em, skin 'em, and then eat their flesh and wear their skins.

That said - the conditions that tiger is living in are disgusting.

That was put on hold while the inbr--I mean, truck stop owner--tries to change the law that he is breaking.
