LINK Tiger Cub Found In Car Trunk During Traffic Stop in Mexico
Look, we get it. Tiger cubs are adorable. If you find one, it could be tempting to pick it up, take it home, and keep it as a pet. But apparently, Mexico has this pesky requirement that if you own an exotic animal such as a tiger, it has to come from a certified dealer and have been born in captivity. So, if the police catch you with an illegally purchased tiger cub in your trunk, you can end up in a bit of trouble.
The BBC reports that yesterday, police from El Marqués in Querétaro, Mexico stopped a couple for a minor traffic violation. The couple were said to have been behaving “aggressively” during the stop and tried to escape. That escape attempt was unsuccessful and led to their arrest, as well as the search of their car. In the car, they found four handguns, 98 bullets, and one tiger cub.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.The article said the police department wants to return it to the wild. They might be geographically challenged. I don't know the sub species but it is definitely no more than a few months old and may need formula still. The media attention will hopefully allow them to find good care. Truly adorable.
