i euthanized five tigers what was that situation i was licensed by the United States Department of Agriculture that's
00:00:06
who allows you to have a zoo and my USDA inspector kept saying "Joe you have 260
00:00:13
tigers why are you keeping these five alive they're so old and they're crippled and they're in pain." There was
00:00:18
two ways in the protocol to put them to sleep by gunshot or by injection in order to have the vet utilize them by
00:00:26
injection you have to tranquilize them first so she could walk in a cage without getting killed and you have to
00:00:31
keep tranquilizing them over and over and over and they have seizures the vet just figured out that you know what
00:00:37
let's just put them down with with the gunshot and have it done in a half a second so that's what we did well the
00:00:42
inspector that told us to do that couldn't be found the jury never got to hear her so they didn't charge me with
00:00:49
animal abuse or cruelty to animals or anything else they charged me with taking five endangered species without a
00:00:55
permit going hunting without a permit basically damn
