Tony, a tiger held at the Tiger Truck Stop in Gross Tete, Louisiana, lives in a chain link and concrete cell surrounded by idling truck engines and diesel fumes -- 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Tony can never escape the noise, the flood lights and the boredom as he paces back and forth. Due to the harassment he receives, a sign asks people not to throw rocks at him.

Carole Baskin, Founder and CEO of Big Cat Rescue of Tampa FL , has offered Tony sanctuary but Tony’s owner, Michael Sandlin, refuses.

ACT NOW!

In December 2010, the permit allowing Sandlin to continue his exploitation of Tony is up for renewal. Please write Louisiana representatives to deny this renewal and to end to the private trade of tigers

Jesus, I'm really shocked by that. Aren't they an endangered species, I don't understand how that guy is allowed to keep him?

It seems the rules have been overlooked for this one guy. But if public opinion is strong, they'll have to reconsider next month when it's up for renewal. That's why it's important to spread the word to as many people as possible.

I signed the petition today.

I wonder why this guy is so special that rules have been bent? Anyway I signed it, let me know what does happen next month with it, I'd be very interested to know
