NSPCA is considering legal action against 🐅 Sheba the tiger's owner, amid concerns that the big cat was not euthanised but rather shot and killed. ShebaTheTiger TheCitizenNews
“Contrary to some reports, the tigress was not captured and then euthanized. The owner failed to capture her safely and ultimately, she was shot and killed after entering a populated dwelling in the area,” it said.said they and the local SPCA were not contacted and did not form part of the decision to shoot and kill the animal.
“This is not the first case of a wild animal escaping captivity, nor is it the first time that the animal is made to pay the price for irresponsibility and lack of compassion.” “Animals in captivity are subjected to extreme cruelty. Over and above the fact that freedom is stolen from these animals, they may also be confined to cages, filthy living conditions, the inability to express their natural behaviour, and they are often cruelly trained to perform degrading tricks for the entertainment of people who lack compassion.”
After Sheba escaped, she attacked a 39-year-old man, who is currently recovering in hospital, a pig and two dogs.
