PETA Demands That Bronx Zoo Tigers be Freed Due to CoronavirusBy Richard Hertz New York Daily News | Apr 15, 2020 | 6:43 PM
Taking a page from the nationwide movement to release prisoners from jails and prisons, as a preventative measure against the coronavirus, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has demanded the same measures for big cats at the Bronx Zoo.
PETA spokesperson Eric Shun called for the release of the tigers and other big cats at a press conference at the zoo Tuesday. "Animals are people too and should be given the same life-saving treatment that oppressed prisoners are starting to receive," said Shun.
PETA wants the cats to be released to freely roam at Pelham Bay Park for the duration of the coronavirus outbreak.
Officials at the Bronx Zoo had no comment regarding the proposal.

 That cop probably had to change his shorts, after, but as long as he was 6 feet away he was OK.

Let them free at the PETA Convention, after you lock the doors from the outside.

I propose that the Tigers be allowed to roam free during the DNC where they will have ample meat as the liberals just lay down and sacrifice themselves in the name of Simba>

My friends wive is a big animal advocate , volunteers in local animal control offices . She said to NEVER give to PETA . They keep all the money and do nothing for animals . If anything give to your local Animal control kennel .

They'll behave better than some of the 2 legged animals being released. For the life of me, I cannot understand the lack of outrage that this crisis is being used, without merit,legality, and common sense- to release violent criminals from prison.
