Charges Filed Over Tiger Featured In Logan Paul Video
Criminal charges have been filed over a baby tiger featured in a Logan Paul video.
The video was posted on Logan Paul’s YouTube channel on October 21, 2017. During the video, Logan Paul takes his dog ‘Kong’ to meet a baby tiger cub.
Investigators identified the owner of the tiger as 32-year-old Nicholas Perkins. Officials confiscated the tiger after a searching Perkins’ Los Angeles home. Perkins has since been charged with illegal possession and mistreatment of a tiger.
Los Angeles city attorney Mike Feuer wants the case to send a “strong message.”
Exotic animals, like a tiger, this is not a pet. This does not belong in your backyard. We need to be protecting. These animals are precious creatures, they’re not just to be handled this way.
Mike Feuer, Los Angeles city attorney
Perkins could be jailed for up to 2.5 years and fined $4,000 if convicted.
The cub was taken to a large cat sanctuary in LA where it has since fully recovered.
