Here is are some excerpts from a CTV story about exotic pets.
While only 3,500 tigers still roam the wild, Americans now own a staggering 10,000 of them. The heart of captive tiger country is Texas, where some 5,000 big cats live in backyards, cages and, gulp!, open ranches -- no permits required. For all their majesty, tigers sell for a song: A young cub in good health can be had for the cost of a purebred dog, about $1,000, though "the meat bill is big," says Christopher Cutter, spokesman for the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). That's why tiger owners often cut deals on road kill with highway patrol. Then there's tiger insurance, for which Tyson has been known to pay $1,100 a month.
More inconceivably, they let the animals breed. Last year New Jersey authorities called in the IFAW to help confiscate 24 tigers from a woman raising them in a suburban home. The great cats lived in a mishmash of shipping containers, industrial fencing and plywood behind the house.

Hey everyone!
Thanks for all the words this weekend,
Been away "winter" camping and just getting caught up.
Wow what a weekend! Hardly what you could called winter camping.
My apologies to those who prefer "the other type" of camping.
No matter, it was a glorious time to be out and about!How old would you be, if you didn't know how old you were?

Ha! I saw those guys in a downtown bar (Phoenix, Diamond?) just after that came out and was popular. I won the tickets off the radio.

This is just one of the reasons that Tartan Rocker Rocks
She makes her point in a unique style, like those wise parental talks
It has been indeed rubbish to which we've all been subjected,
& I am glad to see those wannabees are finally getting rejected,
Devious people are sneaky & will try to take the floor,
I hope what they are hearing now is the slamming of the door!
I love Tartan Rocker!!!
