Man plays with tiger
Video has been released of a man playing with a tiger that was seen roaming a Houston neighborhood earlier this month.
It's still unclear at the moment, where India was during his disappearance but what we do know, is he is safely going to the Cleveland Armory Black Beauty Ranch in Murchinson, Texas.
"Black Beauty Ranch will provide a safe sanctuary for him and give him a proper diet, enrichment, an expansive naturally wooded habitat where he can safely roam and will provide everything else he needs to be the healthy wild tiger he deserves to be," Kitty Block, president, and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States, said.
