Stop Forcing Baby Tigers to Swim With TouristsHow can members of the same species that help a stray mama cat so generously be involved in such cruelty?
I don't often sign Internet petitions. Mostly I think they don't do much good. But in this case, it was sign the petition, or hock my esposo's car for gas money and a baseball bat, and head to Dade County and keep thwapping the operators of this tourist attraction into the pool until THEY'RE crying to be let out.
And we can't really afford the bail money.
Dayum.
These fuckers need to be locked in a steel cage with Martin Shkreli and some boards with rusty nails sticking out.
revoltedly,
Bright
PS-- I'd love it if DUers bumped that petition over the goal. And/or anything else we can do to mess up these greedy shitweasels' week/month/year/whatever.

Signed. We need a FEDERAL law that outlaws ownership of exotic animals, including tigers.

Only certified zoos and refuges should be allowed to house big cats.
