Tiger Cub Saved From Cooking Pot Goes Missing
2005-08-19
MELAKA, Aug 18 (Bernama) -- A tiger cub saved from the cooking pot last week and being nursed back to health at the Melaka Zoo has gone missing. The cub, named Nicky, was found missing from its cage at the zoo's clinic at 8 am yesterday, a zoo spokesman said Thursday.

"The management of the Melaka Zoo is investigating and has not ruled out negligence of the staff as a factor for the loss," he said in a statement. He said it is believed that the cub wandered off or was taken away between 5 pm and 6 pm on Tuesday. A large-scale search operation was conducted up to 10 pm, Wednesday...

The spokesman said the cub might be somewhere in the zoo or it could have been taken away by any visitor as it was tame. He also warned that anyone found to be keeping the cub could be fined up to RM6,000 or sentenced to a maximum jail term of six years, or both, under the Wildlife Protection Act...

The cub was saved by Malaysian Trade Commissioner to Papua New Guinea, Datuk Dr S.H. Foo, from a restaurant in Kuala Lumpur that had bought the animal from villagers who had caught it in Rompin, Pahang.

#1  I forsee a made for TV movie coming called:

"TIGER BALM:Taste This Punks"

"As a young cub, he gets cooked"
"But, by the power of Zeus, he escapes"
"He flies to Japan to train under the great ninja master, Master Wasabi Sushi"
"Then he travels to Germany for advanced military tactics and weapons training"
"Then he travels back to the land that tried to cook him and gets a job as the head chef"
"The restaurant employees never suspected him, for he was a humble employee"
"But his eyes had the word "revenge" engraved inside"
"He was there for only reason: REVENGE! REVENGE! REVENGE!"
"Then one day, when he gained everyone's trust, he started killing them one by one alternating between his ninja and advanced military killing styles."
"He would take them into the jungle, apply dry rub, roast them and EAT! EAT! EAT! them"
"This became a vengeful addition, he could not stop until everyone was DEAD! DEAD! DEAD!"
"Now he resides, with his wife and two kids, with an assumed name, in an undisclosed major famous city location in Nevada."
