There is a tiger in Nevada who happens to be living a higher standard of living than most human children in Africa, which has been the source of much consternation in liberal circles.

The tiger belongs to the greatest fighter in the world, Floyd Mayweather. But America’s most famous cat owner is not being well-received by the unelected representatives of the animal world, PETA.

After Floyd shared a picture of him and the cat, which he received as a gift when he was in Moscow (What? There’s nothing weird about that. Everyone gets an Indian tiger when they go to Moscow. It’s practically a Russian snow globe.), PETA and an assortment of other losers berated Mayweather and even expressed hope that the welterweight might be on the menu for the big cat’s next meal.

PETA admonished Mayweather, claiming:

'Tigers do poorly as "pets" – they belong in their native habitats, not in a cage in a celebrity's home as a "show-off" prop, 100 percent certain to be discarded to a roadside zoo or a cheap circus or to meet some other tawdry end after they become too strong to handle and show a will of their own.

'Wild animals kept as amusements never have a fighting chance of a natural life.

'Having been torn away from their mothers, many end up violently beaten by trainers and all are deprived of what's natural, normal and important to them.

'PETA appeals to Floyd Mayweather to be a real champ for animals and allow his "Christmas present" to be moved to a wildlife sanctuary.'

Again, considering this Tiger will be living better than half of Detroit, the whole “they don’t do well as pets” thing doesn’t quite sell here. But that was nowhere near the end, or even the zenith of the hate parade, as model and wife of singer John Legend took things to a very dark place:

Later, Teigen complained about how no one could understand she was joking. Because no one is allowed to joke anymore. Because people pull Instagrams and tweets and don’t do research. Or something. In other words, we’re dumb for reading her words and not seeing the obvious humor in wishing someone death by tiger.

After all, when my neighbor says, “Die in a fire,” I know he’s really saying “I love you.”

But Teigen wasn’t the only child of love and tolerance who wished Mayweather dead.

Wow. Putting a black man in shackles? Seems a bit racist.

That last guy actually wanted to get the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi involved. But he’s not a “political guy.” Of course not.

For his part, Mayweather claims he’s partnered with a group in Russia to try and save tigers by breeding them and trying to re-populate them, while protecting them from hunters and poachers.

You would think that would make liberals happy. Instead, they want him devoured and in shackles.
