Why is there a live tiger in a tiny cage next to the gas pumps in this 24 hour truck stop at Grosse Tete? Because the Iberville Parish doesn't want to enforce their own rules against "one of their own." Indeed they have amended their own laws

One of the new requirements that the council approved shows their complete ignorance of tigers. They have required rubber mats to be installed in Tony's den, and that will kill him. Tigers can eat tires and many have died from doing so as their owners

When the Iberville Parish Council voted last month to exempt Tiger Truck Stop owner Michael Sandlin from a parish ordinance prohibiting individual ownership of exotic animals, Sandlin appeared to be in the clear to keep his 8 year-old, 550 pound Bengal-S
