Last week, a 71-year-old Nevada man was arrested after seven “emotional support” tigers were seized from his home.
Authorities raided the Pahrump home of Karl Mitchell on suspicion of “resisting arrest.”
While there, cops found the wild cats and realized Mitchell didn’t have any kind of special permit to own them.
Mitchell said no permits were needed because of the “emotional support” the tigers provided, but it should be noted that the Americans with Disabilities Act doesn’t recognize tigers for that purpose.
On a side note, Mitchell says he rescued the tigers from Joe Exotic, of “Tiger King” fame.
