One of my readers in Louisiana wrote to me with this message about the “Tiger at a Truckstop” story I posted a while back.
“Swung by yesterday and had a look. 
He looked bored and hot … . Not many visitors … . It was sad … very, very sad.”
The reader is a regular reader and commenter on this blog and I really appreciate his effort to go check out the story in person. If you’d like to help this tiger, you can SIGN A PETITION at http://freetonythetiger.wordpress.com/ or look on Facebook for Free Tony the Tiger.

June 27, 2010 at 2:15 pmI wrote to the Town Council about 2 years ago about the plight of Tony the Tiger. It is just horrible what this poor tiger has endured for so many years. I never received a reply, of course. The people at Big Cat Rescue in Tampa have offered to take him, but his captors will not let him go. He suffers at a truck stop to be harassed by the truckers day and night. The noise and lights never stop. It makes me cry to think about Tony…
