Tigers for Sale? Yes – It’s Legal and It’s Easy

in Spotlight on December 22, 2011

Believe it or not, an “Inside Edition” investigation found it is easier in some states to purchase a tiger than it is to adopt a dog from a shelter. Producer Charlie Mclravy found it was as easy as responding to a listing in a catalog called the “Animal Finder’s Guide.” The ad said: “Tiger Cub, five month old female, well socialized.” The seller, Cy Vierstra, sent Mclravy pictures of a rare white Bengal tiger. The price: $2,700.
