Floyd Mayweather Gets Serious Reactions From 'Big Cat Rescue Group' For Owning A Female Tiger As Pet

Floyd Mayweather is sure happy about his new pet 'a two month old female tiger' but a big cat rescue group doesn’t feel the same way. Whle Mayweather shared a photo of his new pet on instagram talking about his “early Christmas present”: a two-month-old female tiger.
A nonprofit sanctuary in Florida, called the BIG CAT RESCUE GROUP took to Facebook Sunday to condemn Mayweather's new pet.

I want to thank my family @themoneyteamrussia here in Moscow, Russia for the hospitality & my early Christmas present, a rare & exotic tiger from India. Any suggestions for a name for this two-month old, female tiger? #Moscow#Russia www.themoneyteam.com FOLLOW: @themoneyteamrussia

The group stated, “We do not believe there is ANY acceptable situation for big cats to be pets,” they also wrote in a Facebook post. “The fact that he is a celebrity makes it even worse in that now many of his fans will think it’s cool to have a tiger as a pet and want to do the same thing. It’s incredibly irresponsible for anyone to think these alpha predators would make good pets. We believe it is cruel and abusive for anyone to own a big cat as a pet.”

People keep asking us what we think about boxer Floyd Mayweather's recent announcement that he has purchased a tiger cub as a pet. It is our opinion that unless Mayweather has moved to Moscow, this is a sad publicity stunt.
But if it were true, we do not believe there is ANY acceptable situation for big cats to be pets. The fact that he is a celebrity makes it even worse in that now many of his fans will think it's cool to have a tiger as a pet and want to do the same thing. It's incredibly irresponsible for anyone to think these alpha predators would make good pets. We believe it is cruel and abusive for anyone to own a big cat as a pet. The cub should go to a GFAS-accredited sanctuary.
