"Hear, hear" for happy endings to stories related to any potential animal abuse!
A Calvert, Texas woman was arrested in a Wal-Mart parking lot, charged for the alleged sales of six baby Bengal tiger cubs, this past Sunday. Released on a $5000.00 bond, she faces charges of wildlife violations, and concerns about no permits to transport the animals. The woman, allegedly is the co-owner of the Spring Hill Wildlife Ranch outside Calvert. Police reports claim that these cubs were to be illegally smuggled into Mexico.
Authorities found four white tiger cubs and two orange tiger cubs in pet carriers in the parking lot. According to an Action 4 News TV program, white tiger cubs can be sold for $5.000 while the orange cubs could sell for $900.00
The tiger cubs are healthy and range in age between 2 to 10 weeks old. They have been placed at the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville by the Federal Wildlife authorities and are safe and sound.
I don't know about you, but when I hear about people who are out to make a buck from any sales of our endangered species, it gets my blood boiling. These cats need to be protected and treasured.
Watch this charming video of a 4-5 week old Sumatran Tiger Cub female at Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle who is living happily at their nursery.

I am glad this woman was caught, and I hope she gets what she truly deserves. It always amazes me what people will do for the almighty dollar. This video is just adorable. Thanks for sharing with us.
I have seen person(s) pulling a shopping wagon piled with pups to sell; deeply upsetting. Thanks for helping me be informed, better ready to step up for change. Every gesture towards change makes a difference, with everyones' gestures, cumulatively, having remarkable power, I do believe.

That woman should have been put in a pet carrier with a for sale sign. I am sorry to say she probably won't get a very heavy sentence for this.
Cute video!!!
I don't believe in selling animals like that. This woman will pay her dues someday in another life...if she even gets there!
