America is finally number 1!

Huzzah! Hallelujah! (or however you spell that)! It took years, but we finally beat those fiendishly clever Indians at their own game, surging to the top of the
"Most Tiger Attacks in One Week" charts.
There is sadness tonight in the 7-11s and low-priced motels of America tonight, I tell you.

Our boys have won their stripes at last ...almost getting a unique peek at them from inside the tiger!

Part-time cabbie can afford to feed these beasts in a 3-bedroom flat?

Almost all of his cabbie income is unreported cash. Seems he was also selling the previous exotic animals, which if he had fed cheap meat to can make him a handsome profit (or so says the TV news).

A good story for today. It reminds me of the ousted California governor who fought like a Bengal tiger.

Apartments run over a thousand bucks everywhere in New York, and he's feeding the tiger (by itself) 25 chicken thighs A DAY...How the heck was he affording to live and feed ALL of these animals on a part time taxi driving job???

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

Have they looked inside the tiger?

Well, now you've done it. The Pakistanis are mad at the tiger attack gap.

And the Arabs are humiliated even further.

I agree with you. I knew him personally and he had lots of friends and was well liked. He intentionally wouldn’t hurt any animal. The Tiger didn’t attack him. It was a mistake and once the Tiger realized it got him instead of the cat it stopped. If it was really was trying to kill him who could have really stopped it.... No one was there with tranquilizers. Some people need to get a grip.
