Prosecutors said they were investigating what happened to Yates' other animals.

Ming and Al are getting lawyers...

Ming, who ate 25 chicken thighs a day, was shipped to an animal refuge in Ohio...
...Prosecutors said they were investigating what happened to Yates' other animals.

Ummm, hello!!
It's a crazy world when your "only friend" is a carnivorous animal.

Hmmmm, I wonder what happened to the other animals? I would suspect that since the guy was trying to protect the little kitten FROM THE TIGER, we have our first clue.

There is no such thing as a pet tiger.

Neighbours said Yates also has housed hyenas, monkeys and snakes in his home. Prosecutors said they were investigating what happened to Yates' other animals.

I once had a cousin who had a leppard for a pet. The leppard would kill a cat on sight but got along great with the yard dogs.

25 chicken thighs wasn't enough.

I agree, and I suspect the judge will too. This is a well-meaning though misguided young man. In the neighborhood in question, many young men are inclined to murderous violence to humans and animals. This fellow is worth saving, and a job in a zoo or wildlife preserve (maybe the one Ming got sent to) would be a good idea -- lots of unskilled labor needed at those places.

How does a part-time taxi driver in New York City afford:

1) A 7 room apartment, and
2) 25 chicken thighs a day?

That's 750 chicken thighs a month! Yowza.
