The
polarizing athlete shared a photo on Instagram Thursday night revealing
he had received a very rare and one-of-a-kind Christmas present – an
exotic baby tiger from India.
The announcement was immediately met with outrage and shock on social media – and from PETA.
Chrissy
Teigen also commented on having tiger’s on pets, writing on Twitter;
‘I’m okay with people having pet tigers because it increases their
chances of being eaten by a tiger.’
PETA’s Senior Vice President Lisa Lange said in a statement released to DailyMail.com; ‘Floyd Mayweather can have anything he wants, and what he should want is an end to the wild-animal trade, not to be a facilitator of it.‘Tigers do poorly as “pets” – they belong in their native habitats, not in a cage in a celebrity’s home as a “show-off” prop, 100 percent certain to be discarded to a roadside zoo or a cheap circus or to meet some other tawdry end after they become too strong to handle and show a will of their own.‘Wild animals kept as amusements never have a fighting chance of a natural life.‘Having been torn away from their mothers, many end up violently beaten by trainers and all are deprived of what’s natural, normal and important to them.‘PETA appeals to Floyd Mayweather to be a real champ for animals and allow his “Christmas present” to be moved to a wildlife sanctuary.’
