Animal Rights Group Sues Louisiana Over ‘Tiger Truck Stop’ Law

The State of Louisiana, Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission, the Louisiana Department, the Tiger Truck Stop and it's owner Michael Sandlin are being sued by an animal rights group and a former state legislator over the law signed by Governor Bobby Jindal allowing Tony the Tiger to be an attraction at Tiger Truck Stop.

The Animal Legal Defense Fund said that the law Governor Jindal signed illegally exempts an individual from the state's public safety and animal welfare laws. Also, the ALDF filed the suit on behalf of former state legislator Rep. Warren Triche Jr., who was the man who proposed Louisiana's 'big exotic cat' ban, which has been a law in 2006.
