Title: Save Tony the Tiger
Post by: Janeyk on December 04, 2010, 20:00:49 PM

Tony the Tiger has lived for 10 years in a chain link and concrete enclosure
at a truck stop in Louisiana.

But Tony isn't living, he's suffering.

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/460/714/941/?z00m=19918497


At the truck stop, Tony is subjected to constant harassment, noise, flood
lights, and exhaust fumes in a space no bigger than a couple parking spots.

Tony's owner is allowed to keep Tony in such inhumane conditions because the
Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) gave him a permit to
do so. Tony serves as a truck stop attraction, and his only protection is a
cage and a sign asking people not to throw things at him.

Help free Tony.

Tell the LDWF not to renew the permit that keeps him at the truck stop. »

I signed it yesterday after getting an email from care2

I'm sure I signed one for the same tiger about 2 years ago, so sounds like nothing happened. For a supposedly modern country, America has a long way to go where animal welfare is concerned. I'm certain it wouldn't be allowed here.

They've got way over their target number of signatures, I just wonder if these petitions actually have any effect.

I don't know anything about this other than it was emailed to me and so I thought I'd crosspost.   I hope that something can be done for him  :(
