Man Kept Tiger In Public Housing
A Bengal tiger, being kept as a pet in a fifth-floor New York City apartment, has been removed, but the big cat did not go quietly -- the roars could be heard a block away. Dozens of police and animal control officers were called to tranquilize the 350- to 400-pound animal while hundreds of people waited on the street, Long Island's Newsday reports. Police arrested 36-year-old Antoine Yates in Philadelphia. Police also found a 3-foot caiman, a type of crocodile, in the apartment. Police were directed to the public housing apartment in Harlem after Yates was treated for several animal bites at a hospital.
