How Easy Is It to Buy a Pet Tiger?

The tiger seen roaming a Texas suburb is potentially still on the loose, concerning residents and big cat advocates alike, including “Tiger King” star Carole Baskin. Police say the tiger was last spotted in a pickup driven by a man seen on video leading it by the collar back inside a house. So can you buy a pet tiger? A 2011 Inside Edition investigation found three tigers for sale at an Ohio farm. The owner offered to sell us a rare white Bengal tire for $2,700 — and it was perfectly legal. #InsideEdition

$2, 400 for a tiger!?! That's cheaper than the rat dogs they sell on Instagram😂

It's so sad that there is only 4, 000 tigers in the wild. :(

People really be out here buying tigers when I'm struggling to find a cheap, but decent riding mower.

It’s crazy to think that there’s 2.5 times MORE tigers in the United States than in the wild.

Convicted murderer hides a tiger. Meanwhile another convicted murder gives advice on owning a tiger. That’s GRRREAT!

$2, 400 is pretty cheap for exotic tigers. People pay more for some fancy breeds of dogs.

“We’d like to ask you about the tiger you’re selling”

“Ughh no thankss"

For reference, a handfed baby Hyacinth Macaw (large blue parrot) sold at my local parrot store for $20, 000 a few years ago. A tiger is not even 15% of that price.

A guy on my road growing up had a pet lion he was a big boy but he was sweet. Never once hurt anyone but he was never free roaming. No one minded him. Some ppl had dogs and that guy had a lion. 💁🏻‍♀️

I saw a tiger listed for less than a dog that I was looking at. It was going for a couple hundred. I couldn't believe it was so cheap! LIKE ITS A TIGER

Baskin- it’s isn’t hard to hide a tiger
Public- where’s your husband’s body?

[jasondellicarpini]

Maybe that’s Carole Baskin’s tiger and it got hungry because it hasn’t eaten anything since it was fed Carole Baskin’s husband, so it went out looking for food

Only Inside Edition would think to report on this kind of thing. Honestly, kinda living for it.
