A Little German Tiger Story

 So via social media in the past week or two....German cops noticed one of the crime gangs around Berlin.....had a photo up of their gang members....in the house, with a pet tiger.  

Cops dug out the laws, and there's a law that prevents exotic animals like this....unless you have a permit/license.  

So they rigged up a raid (knowing the gang's address).  I should note....the house in question is NOT owned by the gang....it's rented.

The cops arrive and this raid takes place.  Members of the gang are there....but no tiger.

So an investigation starts up.

From what they figure out.....there's a circus (they do have a license/permit) and they have a tiger (young) that they rent out for parties.  So the gang hired up the circus folks to bring the tiger by.  

The circus says (maybe it's completely true) that they were there for mostly 15-to-20 minutes.  No one says what they were paid but it has be more than a couple hundred Euro.  From the basic story....it seems like the gang folks mostly wanted their pictures taken with the tiger.  Then the circus guys left, with their tiger.

The raid?  Well....more or less....a bust.  

The real owners of the house?  They are a bit peeved over the negative attention and seem to suggest that they don't need raids or tigers in the mix.  

The odds that the gang will hire up more exotic animals in the future?  Oh....I would suggest that this might be a repeatable thing...just to see how fast the cops react.
