"Does the US have a pet tiger problem?" To read this article you'd think yes, the US has a massive tiger problem. A couple of gems:
"It is easier to own a tiger than a dog that has been labelled dangerous in the state of Texas, which could have between 2,000 and 5,000 tigers."
"You're not going to have a tiger in Brooklyn as easily - Texas lends itself to keeping these animals,"
Says there are twice as many tigers in captivity in US than in the wild. That's fucked up if true but most are in zoos, not people's back yards (and the real story is in India, not Texas). This article makes it sound like half the people in Texas have tigers. I actually lived in Texas for a few months back in 94 and I feel gypped after reading this because I never got to see one. Also note the language used, lots of "registered" this and that, and lots of references to Texans and Americans in general valuing their freedom in a negative, if not reckless, light. They literally think it's newsworthy when an American takes a piss without permission.
And this is what came up when I searched for "news" under the news search on google. Really? Nothing else happened on Earth today so that's page one shit? More like "America's big news problem".
