Tony is a 12 year old Siberian/Bengal tiger used as a roadside attraction at Tiger Truck Stop in Grosse Tete Louisiana. Tony’s owner, Michael Sandlin bought, sold, bred, and exhibited tigers for over 20 years. In 2003, because of violations Mr. Sandlin and the USDA made an agreement {after Sandlin threatened a lawsuit} where 3 of the 4 tigers he owned, Toby, Khan and Rainbow, were sent to Tiger Haven in Kingston TN. The USDA reduced the fines and allowed Mr. Sandlin to keep one tiger, Tony.
Once again our good friends at Ask The Trucker are showing their support for Tony. One of the featured topics on Aubrey Allen Smith's show on Blog Talk Radio on Thursday night November 4th, 2010 will be "The TRUE Story of Tony the Truck Stop Tiger," incuding the abuse, neglect, and rapidly failing health of Tony.
