The tiger was due to receive its second COVID-19 vaccination shot on the day it became ill, officials said. The zoo is located at 1300 W. Fulton St.

Covid will never disappear because the virus has a reservoir in the animal kingdom. Even if all humans are free of covid, the virus will re-emerge from animals.

Exactly. Ifa zoo or forest animals can get covid, then we will never eradicated it no matter how many vaccines are given, how much people wear masks,etc. This insane idea that if we all just wear masks and get vaccinated, etc. it will magically disappear will never happen.

However, Joe Biden, or more specifically, his handlers told him to say he would eradicate Covid so that is what they will try to do and miserably fail at. Fortunately, they will keep doing the same things over and over further destroying the country’s economy.

Poor poor kitty. Praying for it’s recovery. Not fair for animals to get human diseases.

I would love to send some Karen’s who love wearing masks and tell them to go in there and put a mask on the tiger, it will save his life and watch the idiots actually do it.

Ivermectin would LIKELY save the tiger.

Ivermectin is a horse dewormer, so that's impossible!
