he owes his life to those border partol agents. No doubt that tiger would have mauled him to death in about 3 years.

He gets six months in jail

quote:

SAN DIEGO — An 18-year-old man who tried to smuggle a 6-week-old Bengal tiger cub into San Diego from Mexico was sentenced Tuesday to six months in federal prison.

Luis Eudoro Valencia, of Perris, pleaded guilty in December to a charge of conspiracy to import tigers.

The defendant admitted that last Aug. 18, he contacted a co-conspirator in Mexico to make arrangements to obtain the tiger cub. Four days later, Valencia got a message from his Mexico contact stating that the cub would be arriving at the Tijuana Airport that night.

quote:

Valencia’s attorney said his client wanted the tiger cub as a pet, but prosecutors said cell phone data shows that the defendant was running an animal smuggling business and had boasted about making thousands of dollars by selling monkeys, jaguars and lions.
