Houston (AP)-The tiger was scared to residents after being briefly hovered near Houston for the last time. After nearly a week of searches, the police found the tiger one day ago and transported it to the wild on Sunday Animal sanctuary.
The senior director of the shelter, Noelle Almrud (Noelle Almrud) said that the 9-month-old man, named India, is now in an animal in Murchison, Texas, southeast of Dallas. Shelter Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch Hospital receives care.
She said: “Black Beauty Ranch will provide him with a safe shelter, and provide him with proper diet, abundant food, and vast natural forest habitat so that he can roam safely and will provide everything he needs. Make him the healthy wild tiger he deserves.”.
The sanctuary is home to nearly 800 species of domesticated and exotic animals, including two other tigers discovered in recent years-one in Houston in 2019 and the other in San Antonio in February.
Houston police announced Saturday night that India had been found safe and unharmed. In a short video tweeted by the Houston Police Department (Cmdr). Saw Ron Borza sitting next to the tiger, petting the animal.
Tiger was kept in the Houston Animal Sanctuary City BARC until the sanctuary officials picked him up on Sunday morning.
The authorities have been looking for tigers since they were discovered near west Houston on May 9. At the time, the car was almost shot at by a co-pilot on duty, and was later hit by Victor Hugo Cuevas, who claimed to be the owner.
At a press conference on Saturday night, Bolza said that after Cuevas’ wife Giorgiana returned the tiger to the police on Saturday, a friend of hers got in touch with BARC officials.
“This is Victor’s tiger. (This is what Giorgiana Cuevas told me… She said they have kept this animal for 9 months,” Bolza said. He claimed this The tiger was passed on to different people, but when the authorities searched for it, Kuvasz’s wife knew where the tiger had been this week.
The police are still working to determine exactly where the tigers will be held this week and whether any accusations related to tiger breeding will be brought. Unless a processor (such as a zoo) is permitted to own exotic animals, tigers are not allowed to play within the Houston city area according to city ordinances.
But Cuevas’ lawyer, Michael W. Elliott, continued to insist on Saturday night that his client did not own a tiger.
Elliott told the Associated Press: “Victor is not the main owner of India, and in most cases India is not with him.” “However, Victor is often involved in Indian care. Victor (Victor) loves India, just like anyone else loves pets…He treats India with love and excellent treatment in all aspects.”
Cuevas was arrested by Houston police on Monday and charged with evading arrest because he was suspected of escaping his home after a police officer responded to a call about dangerous animals.
When he was arrested by Houston police, Cuevas had been released on bail for murder because he was killed in a fatal shooting in neighboring Bend County in 2017. Elliott said Cuevas believed the shooting was self-defense.
Cuevas was released in isolation on Wednesday for evading arrest charges. However, prosecutors in Fort Bend County subsequently tried not to detain him for murder. After a full-day hearing last Friday, the judge revoked Cuvas’s current deposit of $125,000 in murder charges and issued a new deposit at a price of $300,000. He is still imprisoned.
At a court hearing on Friday, Wes Manion, deputy director of the Waller County Sheriff’s Office, who lives near Houston, testified that he interacted with the animal for about 10 minutes to make sure it did not Will follow other people. He said, Kuvass shouted: “Don’t kill it.” The tiger grabbed the collar, kissed it on the head, and then took it back to his home. Various videos of the encounter between Tiger and Manion have been posted on social media.
Elliott said Cuevas did not do anything illegal because Texas does not have a statewide law prohibiting the private ownership of tigers and other exotic animals.
Kitty Block, the president and CEO of the American Humanitarian Association, which is in charge of the shelter, said on Sunday that although India appears to be safe, “big cats like India will show that it can happen naturally at any time. Predicted behavior.” Borza said that India already weighs 175 pounds (79 kg), it can “cause a lot of damage” and will only get bigger.
“This situation is why we are working hard to pass federal legislation. The Big Cat Public Safety Act will prohibit the keeping of big cats as pets.”
