1 year old, 180 lb. Tiger Found Slain in Dallas Suburb

[Facetious]

Dead Tiger Found On Texas Roadside Might Be A Pet

DALLAS (CBS) ― On Christmas morning, the City of Dallas received a call that led to a strange investigation.

The caller told officials they had found a female Bengal tiger left for dead near the Madison Point Apartments, reports CBS station KTVT-TV.

Dallas Zoo veterinarian Dr. Thomas Alvarado performed a necropsy, an autopsy for animals. He found five gunshot wounds, including one in the head and one in the thorax.

The tiger was nearly 6 feet long and weighed about 180 pounds. Zoo officials believe it is a Bengal tiger and was "fairly young," Eckert said. It appeared to have been in good health before being shot, although it hadn't eaten in about a day.

"It had a collar with a leash on it. It was de-clawed, but still had all of its teeth. So somebody had it as a pet or some other situation like that," said Dallas Zoo spokesperson Chuck Siegel.

Officials believe the tiger was illegally kept, violently killed and unlawfully dumped on a city street.

Louis Dorfman runs the International Exotic Animal Sanctuary in Boyd, Texas. He says the killing may be the result of an often seen scenario.

"This is a horrible example of what humans are capable of," said Dorfman. "Somebody out there thought they were going to make a pet out of this animal. These are never pets."

The Department of Agriculture is overseeing the investigation.

This tiger issue is getting weird.

 

[tartanterrier]

Looks like a revenge attack for the zoo accident.Just another loon with a gun

 

[Legzman]

This tiger slaying shit has got to stop! 3 already endangered species, now killed by MAN in the past week! Seriously fucking stop!
:thefinger

I happen to love tigers and at the rate we're killing the captive ones, I may never get to see one alive again!

 

[sundog]

Anyone who kills an animal in this type of manner needs to be killed in the same manner. No monetary fine, no six-month-slap-on-the-wrist jail time. Death. End of story.

 

[Mind's Eye]

These stories make me so sad..:crying:

Tigers are such majestic, noble creatures...I can't understand why anyone would want to kill them.

Now I'm not saying I want one as a pet or anything...they're wild animals still, regardless of much a trainer "tames" them...but that's just cruel. Cruel and heartless. :2 cents:

 

[cartman24]

I can't imagine what would make a person want to kill such a beautiful animal. People are really sick.

Paying the price of what the other tiger did

 

[Legzman]

The other tiger already paid for acting on instinct! That zoo fucked up and the kids were taunting her! I think they got what they deserved!

 

[D-rock]

I also guess I don't kneed to tell anybody how stupid keeping a tiger as a pet is. It doesn't seem like there is too much good to say about the person that killed it.

 

[Will E Worm]

The owner couldn't have taken the tiger to their local zoo?

Instead they have to murder the tiger. Hopefully they find the murderer.

 

[georges]

I do hope they prosecute death penalty for the murderer.

 

[BlueBalls]

Was this some sort of revenge attack, if it was how idiotic

 

[Becks...poamr]

Damn sick fuck.

 

[senob44]

As mentioned by some in this post, I wish people would get the death penalty for brutally killing innocent animals. This tiger was another needless victim of man's curiosity and brutality.

Probably thought it was cute as a cub, but then it grew up.

Or they're just assholes.

Or used it to guard a drug house.

...Or something.
