Its amazing to see how many "tub Boats"..

I saw a pretty hot looking babe at a Wal Mart once...

I get a feeling that there are drug lords who want tigers for private menageries, and that people are going to be fed to them.

Those were my exact thoughts as well.

Police learned of the transaction when a McAllen Police Department patrol officer became suspicious of the truck with Mexican license plates in the Wal-Mart parking lot, police said.

Would this really raise any suspicions?

People have to be crazy to begin with. =^..^=

These are not their domestic cousins. =^..^=

LOL. Good catch.

I don’t want animals abused either but I think you are wrong about the penalties. Our laws are strong enough already. In fact you can get more time for animal abuse than people abuse.

I worked at a NE OH WalMart in Lawn & Garden. We'd have to oversee Pets on slow nights (2nd shift). Boy, can you imagine the purr motors on those tigers? Betcha they were bound for a “hunting preserve” to give the gringos a thrill. Glad these little ones were found and rescued.

I know Detroit got off to a lousy start this spring, but selling them in a McAllen parking lot???

Have people lost their ever lovin’ minds?

Yea, what's up with that whole 'Tigers are an endangered species' non-sense. You can buy tiger cubs in *most* Wal-Mart parking lots. I know I got my two cuties, Mr. Hugo and Mr. Josh, at the Wal-Mart parking lot here in Vancouver. What I like about my Tigers is they are not fussy eaters, the love to run and play frisbee, and always loved to get scratched behind the ears. Cleaning the sandbox is a pain, though.

Sick minds think alike. I was about to post that too. :)
