Guest guest Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Tony the Truck Stop Tiger Update Last we heard, the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Department was still considering a permit application that would allow the truck stop owner to keep Tony as a prop for selling gas. Should they deny the permit, we stand ready to rescue Tony, but if they issue it there isn't anything we can do to alleviate this tiger's misery. One of our AdvoCats wrote a touching poem in his honor and says, "For the past three years, our town library has showcased an Art & Poetry Exhibition. We have a reception where the artwork is displayed and poets read their poems. The art and poetry is also featured in a catalog. I have been fortunate enough to be part of this wonderful event with my poems about tigers and cats. In this, our fourth year, my poem is about Tony.This tiger’s sad and tragic story has completely captured my heart, and while I am not a writer by any means, you can never go wrong if you “write from the heart. The Art & Poetry Reception was a great success, and I did find the courage to read Tony’s poem. So many people inquired about Tony and wanted more information. I was ready with a brochure of info on Tony. It was a great way to bring Tony’s story to more people and hopefully gain their support for his freedom." D.
