Yesterday officials from BARC (the City of Houston’s Animal Shelter and Adoptions Center) found an abandoned tiger in a small cage inside of an abandoned house in Houston. He was transported this morning to the world renowned 1,400-acre Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch in Murchison, Texas, joining more than 800 resident animals including two tigers – Charlie, rescued from a breeder in 2016, and Alex, a former pet who arrived in 2014. He will undergo a thorough medical examination and be placed in quarantine for a minimum of two weeks. He will receive proper diet, veterinary care and the respect and dignity that he deserves. His permanent placement is pending possible court action. The ranch has a five-acre, naturally wooded habitat complex that emulates a native environment and that will be the tiger’s new home pending a decision about permanent custody.

Glad he was saved. His eyes are so gentle! Makes my heart sad!
How foolish can people be? Wild animals kept as pets endanger not only the people keeping them but also others in the area. Glad the tiger is in a natural habitat area now.
