A township council in Southern Ontario voted to remove two tigers, Jagger and Aspen, from a residential property as Zohaib Masood has been keeping two one-year-old tigers in the Niagara Region since last fall. Masood rescued the tigers from owners in Ontario who got them as pets but then could not manage them. The voting was done after a security concern was raised, since the area is a residential one. Mayor Brian Grant said the administration does not have the resources to handle any untoward situation if the tigers escape or if there is a fire incident.
"Heaven forbid there's fre in the property and our fire department has to go there to put out a fire or something like that and one of these animals is escaping," the mayor said.
