Ninety dead tigers, including 58
cubs discovered in freezers, were found
dead at the home of an animal rescuer.
John Weinhart, who runs Tiger Rescue was arrested Tuesday for investigation of animal cruelty.
I nvestigators found 11 tiger and leopard cubs crawling about the attic of Weinhart's home. There were two small alligators in the bathtub and two starving tigers on the porch, officials said.
Thirty dead adult tigers, including some with their legs tied together, were found in a yard outside the home.
Weinhart, who is licensed by the state to keep tigers and other big cats, had already been scheduled to stand trial next month in San Bernardino County on 10 misdemeanor charges stemming from what prosecutors say was improper care of tigers at Tiger Rescue.
The state Department of Fish and Game removed 10 tiger cubs from Tiger
Rescue in November, saying the sanctuary in Colton didn't have the proper
permits for the cubs and the agency was concerned about their welfare.
SIGN this petition and urge the San Bernadino District Attorney to prosecute Mr. Weinhart and Accomplices to the FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW. SIGN NOW. Bring the Tiger killer to justice!

| 18,088 | 7:49 pm PST, Jan 20 | Steve O'Neil | The Tiger to me is more the symbol of the Jungle that the Lion. The Tiger is pure, raw power and majestic energy. Tigers are one of the most beautiful creatures to ever walk this earth. Tigers were roaming free long before humans were humans. We should be ashamed that we are the reason the Tiger is almost extinct in the wild. Instead of admiring the Tiger and letting it roam free and wild what do we do--we kill them for sport, farm them for rediculous snack foods and discusting tiger wine, sell their "private parts," teeth and claws as potency enhancers and stupid trinkets and hoard them in our attics and basements in the name of rescue!! We should be ashamed to call ourselves civilized when we treat a fellow creature in such a manner. We must end this senseless killing of the Tiger before it is too late and there are no more Tigers in the wild. If this person is found guilty then lock them up forever. They must not be allowed to ever touch any animal again. |

We Demand Justice for Tiger Killer!
District Attorney Michael A. Ramos,
Please pursue the full extent of the law in the prosecution of MR. Weinhart --
Mr. Weinhart should be brought to justice! When you have the community's trust and
the care of innocent animals on your hands, it is evil to betray that trust. Such
betrayal should be punished and punished severely.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned.
