Tony the Truckstop tiger is still trapped

The following statement is an update via ALDF who have been working so hard to obtain transfer of Tony to a safe sanctuary. "January 30, 2012: Last Monday, Judge Caldwell denied a motion brought by Michael Sandlin and the Tiger Truck Stop (TTS) that sought to suspend Judge Caldwell’s order while Sandlin and TTS appealed. In other words, Tony would have stayed put at the truck stop until after the appeal ran its course, which could take months. Instead, Judge Caldwell’s order instructing the Department to revoke the permit will go into effect right away. Sadly, this does not necessarily mean Tony is leaving the truck stop soon. Sandlin has filed his own lawsuit against the Department, which has been temporarily restrained from taking any action to remove Tony. Our attorneys are doing everything they can to resolve these conflicting orders to make sure Tony makes his way to a humane, accredited sanctuary as soon as possible." The fight for freedom for Tony the truck stop tiger is still going on. Michael Sandlin has continued to appeal to the court to keep Tony but we won't let that happen! Check out the link below to sign a new petition that is aimed at making sure Tony will go to an accredited sanctuary. At this time, it is still uncertain where Tony will go since there are some less than savory places trying to get Tony. So let's all sign that petition and let it be known that we can't have Tony going from one bad home to another. http://www.change.org/petitions/ldwf-ensure-tony-the-tiger-is-released-to-a-reputable-sanctuary
