no tigers. There are cougars, mountain lions, jaguars and bob cats in North America, but Tigers live in Asia and Africa, not in either North or South America.

Check out this article: http://www.charityguide.org/volunteer/vacation/big-cats.htm
Exotic big cats such as tigers are banned as pets in 19 states, but roughly 15,000 such exotic felines are currently kept captive in America. Sadly, the majority of these big cats do not live in accredited zoos; rather, many languish in small cages in private basements and substandard roadside zoos, or are penned outside gas stations as a lure to attract customers.
Big cats kept as pets and as roadside attractions suffer from frequent abuse as well as poor diet, inadequate veterinary care and genetic ailments caused by inbreeding through the exotic pet trade, according to the Humane Society of the United States. Breeders of these exotic felines, which also include leopards, cougars, jaguars and cheetahs, frequently operate in a fashion much like puppy mills, focused entirely on profit at the expense of the animals' well-being. Ninety-eight percent of big cats are likely to die within two years of being bought as "pets."
Hope that helps!

while is the final time a Catholic substitute into on right here telling Protestants that they are all going to hell via fact they stick to fake doctrines? we are the unique Christian church end of tale. the place interior the Bible does it say that our doctrines are fake? Nowhere via fact we wrote the Bible. If God has a controversy with it i'm particular he will let us know as quickly as we see him.
