STUPID Humans: Take II
Okay, I HAVE to continue this morning's entry on Stupid Humans by adding what I just read in the NY Times.
Yesterday, NYPD responded to a call in Harlem about large amounts of urine seeping through someone's ceiling and wild animals in the city.
What they found when they got to the apartment in question (and cut a peephole in the door) was a 350-pound Begal tiger and a 5-foot caiman (one of those snakey-crocodile things).
After calling in experts from the Bronx zoo, and lowering a sniper armed with a tranquilizer gun from the roof to sedate the tiger through the window, they hauled the critters out on stretchers.
What I want to know is: What kind of idiot has a 350 pound tiger and a crocodile as pets?! In an apartment?! In New York City?! And secondarily, where the hell did he get them and what's he been feeding them?
Talk about your insurance liabilities.
Picture it: NYC man sent to prison for life. His pals in the clink say, "Hey man, what you in for?" And he replies, "My tiger ate the little kid that lived next door."
