Christopher Columbus High School, a private ALL BOYS Roman Catholic school is causing outrage after they wheeled in a fully grown TIGER into prom sparking calls that it's animal abuse!!

It happened at the Senior Dance at Double Tree Hilton Miami Airport Convention Centre where the theme was "welcome to the jungle" as organizers decided to take up the theme...LITERALLY by arranging a fully grown tigerto be trotted on the dance floor

This outraged one of the sisters of the students there who said "My mo doesn't appreciate that she spent $200 for prom and got this type of attraction" said Marie-Christine Castellanos.

The 19 y/o said "He'snothing more than an object that people used to amuse themselves in exchange for money"..her brother is not coming forward for fear of reprisals from the school

The video showed the tiger being paraded around the dance floor as the body language of that tiger looked unhappy as he was LUNGING towards students as it was pacing up and down wanting to get out to kill the people watching it...

It wasn't the only exotic animal brought there but birds, a lemur and 2 macaws and an african fennec fox were also there

The school DEFENDED it stating the animals were minded by state licensed handlers

Ron Magill, an animal expert agreed and said that the tiger was just looking a way to get out of the situation as he was surrounded by people with cell phones, lights and jugglers with fire. However, he did find it disgusting that it was used for parties as he felt humans were passed the exploitation of animals..

Another animal expert claimed that even if the tiger got out, it WOULDN'T have killed anybody because it would just try to escape....

Do you believe this tiger would have killed the kids if it "escaped"?

Taking a tiger as your date to prom is all fun and games until you ask it to dance. Tigers are *terrible* dancers.

Having a tiger there? No problem, just give it the proper enclosure it needs. Having it out like that? Nope. Also, poor big kitty, all that music and the crowd and the smells of 16 different Axe scents probably put the thing in such a foul mood to begin with.

I mean if it was in a cage the whole time I don't see the problem. I can't tell if this is saying the tiger was actually out of the cage and walking around on a leash, because that seems...absurd.

Surrounded by cell phones yet there's zero decent photographs. Duckbear, please.

The 19 y/o said "He's nothing more than an object that people used to amuse themselves in exchange for money"


So, a pet?

1: It's a wild animal. It probably would've just tried to escape, but not definitely. You can't always know what an individual animal will do.

2: Even if it did just try to immediately escape, it still could've unintentionally killed someone trampling over them. Tigers are big and heavy, after all. It can kill someone without actively trying to harm them.

Most zoos don't keep most animals in cages anymore.

Did we seriously not learn from this more than a decade ago?

We did learn from it. That's why this one is in a cage instead of just being on a leash.

I don't get the outrage. A tiger in a suit looks so dapper:
