Title: Tiger is on the loose in Houston
Post by: MuggsyB on May 11, 2021, 08:52:29 AM
Please God allow this Tiger not to be hurt or killed.  If he takes out a few people prosecute the "caretaker".  Tigers are not pets, nor are they to be trifled with for any reason.  Hopefully he winds up safe and in a big cat sanctuary.

Wow, that’s a quick recovery from his car accident. Hopefully Perkins restaurants have been notified.

Scumbag.  Perhaps this Tiger should be allowed to attack this dude with zero mercy Herman?  These kind of stories absolutely drive me up the wall.  I can't even imagine the anxiety this poor Tiger is going through.

I live a mile away as the crow flies from Tiger World.

During the evening and early morning, we can hear the lions roaring.
A couple years ago a deer was road kill and ended up in my neighbor's field.  He hauled the carcass over to Tiger World for the big cats to have a little venison.

Muggsy -
I am Pro Tiger as well.  Hopefully, they find The Tiger ( whose is 9 months old and named India) and put it in a good home.

May God keep young India well during this disastrous situation.  9 mos old, he's a baby.  If he gets angry it is totally understandable and not his fault in the slightest.  His "owner" is an asshead and a criminal.  I desperately hope this young tiger can be found by the animal/wildlife authorities and brought to a big cat sanctuary.  There was a article title which read:  Fugitive Tiger Still Evades Arrest.  What a bunch of b-ass and inexcusable.  The "journalist" responsible for this absurd and dishonest title should lose their job immediately and give 10K to a Tiger sanctuary.

If you want to apply this standard to journalists, we’d need to build a few more jails.

That brings up a question. What is the most exotic meat you have tried?

I really liked the filet de cheval at Joe Beef in Montreal.
Adam's Rib in Zionsville Indiana (has been closed for awhile) used to serve lion, giraffe, and Zebra. Never tried it.

Had several types of antelope and gazelle when I was in South Africa, all very delicious. Eaten crocodile before, didn't love it to be honest but didn't hate it either. Have had shark a few times but couldn't tell you what kinds of shark.

This Tiger is in grave danger and we continue to decimate their populations, psychologically damage them and all sorts of cool animals, and now we have "journalists" calling them fugitives???  I will not calm down.  Our treatment of these wonderful members of our planet is ignominious and those involved in their massacres in any way, shape, or form should suffer severe consequences. 

If there is one issue that we can all agree on it should definitely be protecting our endangered animal species and stopping poaching and the illegal pet trade.  This is grotesque.  Do you have any idea how many badass elephants and rhinos there once were vs now?  It's a complete travesty and upsets me greatly.

Muggsy, the journalist did not call the Tiger a fugitive. From your own post:

There was a article title which read:  Fugitive Tiger Still Evades Arrest. 

The journalist used fugitive as an adjective, which per Merriam-Webster means "running away or intending flight."

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fugitive

So the journalist calling this a fugitive tiger is correct. Even if the journalist mean it as a noun, here is the definition from Merriam-Webster: "a person who flees or tries to escape", so again the journalist would correct in calling the Tiger a fugitive since the Tiger is escaping an abusive owner.

I'm assuming you are joking, but no a journalist should not lose their job and be fined $10K for correct use of the word fugitive.

Lion?  WTF.  Theyve been listed as vulnerable since the 70s I believe.

Had several types of antelope and gazelle when I was in South Africa, all very delicious. Eaten crocodile before, didn't love it to be honest but didn't hate it either. Have had shark a few times but couldn't tell you what kinds of shark.

Antelope is fantastic.  Any wild antlered animal (elk, deer, antelopes, etc...) are really quite good.  Crocodile is ehh, Alligator is much better.

I had horse steak in Belgium.  It was honestly really good.  Would just think it was a slightly different beef if not told.

Water buffalo is the common substitute for beef in India.  So you'll see burgers and filet's on the menu and its just assumed you realize its not cow, especially in somewhere like Mumbai where beef is flat out illegal in the state.  Its not bad, good as a steak, a bit lacking as a burger.  Not as good as bison.

I had giant salamander in China...don't recommend it.

When we played Florida in the sweet 16 in 2012 I bought gator meat from a butcher in Chicago to make gator stew. Everything was going perfectly and the stew was going to be very delicious. Then a couple friends showed up to my apartment early and I got high and burnt the gator. We then got our asses kicked. I’ve always blamed myself for that loss. In conclusion burnt gator meat is the weird meat I’ve ever had

But seriously agree I had it in Scotland and it's delicious

My family took me for b-day dinner at  the Natatorium around '80 .

 Dad suggests to be diplomatic and allow us a sampling ....each of the 10 at our table order something different. We had a broad range and some were very good . My bro and B-day me (up here from Houston) were on the far end and were left to ordering Rhino and hippo....we couldnt give a bite of ours away and we had nothing to trade for a bite of the good ones.

At least I got to play a Seaworld trainer and feed the dolphins in the pool

Ziggy,  I'm a devout animal lover and have been extremely fortunate in my life to have traveled  around the world and to a number of sanctuaries and rescue centers.  90% of the charities I donate to are to animal causes.  Now, I have a special affinity towards marine mammals, elephants, and rhinos.  Walruses  obviously are unusually badass and basically 250 pound sea puppies as babies. However, I have been able to get up close with adult and baby elephants/rhinos and it was a life changing experience.  They are absolutely remarkable members of the animal kingdom and no words can describe my sadness for them.  Needless to say there is a special place in Hell for those involved with poaching them or buying jewelry from their ivory.

It figures that this is the one time a PD wouldn't pursue a civil forfeiture.
