so this man his name's Antoine and one night Antoine is rushed into the emergency room he's in pain and he's bleeding he has huge bite marks on him mostly his arm and leg and he tells them that he got attacked by a pitbull but the doctors they start examining his wounds and they get suspicious cuz these bite marks are awfully big to be coming from a pitbull so then what the hell attacked him now around this time police they get an anonymous tip telling them that a wild animal must be on the loose in the
city because they believe it had bit someone and then they give the police the address to this apartment in Harlem so police they go to this apartment to investigate and they can't get in but oddly they can hear something inside growling through the front door and they're like what the is in here so they go to the neighbor's place and they get a drill and they drill tiny holes in the wall so that they can see into this apartment and then they stick a camera through that hole and that's when they see a 400 lb
Siberian tiger just chilling in this New York apartment so how did this tiger get there well let's go back to Antoine Antoine is 31 he's a part-time taxi driver and he really loves animals in fact he loves animals so much that one day he illegally buys a lion cub and a tiger cub from an exotic animal trainer in Minnesota and then he brings them back to New York to live with him in in his public housing apartment in Harlem now in this apartment Antoine already has a 5ot long Cayman living there with him named Al
and so I guess he also now has a lion and a tiger what could possibly go wrong now the lion was apparently sick when Antoine bought him so he doesn't live very long in the apartment before he unfortunately passes away but the tiger cub he doesn't die in fact Antoine raises him there in that apartment and he names him Ming and he gives Ming his own room and he builds him a Sandbox to play in he bottle feeds him until he can graduate to solid food and they become best friends and then three years go
by and Ming is no longer a CB he's now a 400 pound fully grown Siberian tiger and he's still living in this public housing Harlem apartment with Antoine and Al and he's so big Antoine is allegedly feeding him 20 lounds of chicken a day cuz yeah tigers eat a lot now you would think this would go horribly wrong like a man and a huge tiger secretly living in an apartment together but no so far it all seems to be going fine until one day Antoine finds an abandoned house cat outside his door so being the
animal lover that he is he brings it in and he adopts him and he names him shadow and he gives Shadow his own room away from Ming and then about a week later Antoine and Ming they're wrestling because I guess that's how they nor nor Al play together and Shadow just happens to get out of his room and Ming catches one glimpse of him and he just snaps right into wild animal mode and he just leaps into action and he starts chasing Shadow around the place trying to catch him and destroy him and Antoine he
thinks fast and he throws himself in front of Ming and between him and Shadow and then Ming ends up tackling Antoine and Antoine clings to him to keep him from chasing Shadow and that is when Ming grabs a hold of Antoine's neck and bites down and then he bites his arm and then he locks onto his knee and there he doesn't let go so there he is Antoine with his knee in this Siberian Tiger's mouth and it stays there for about 3 minutes before Ming finally lets him go and then Ming goes and he hides
in the bathroom cuz he knows he's in trouble he's a bad kitty but Antoine he's hurt really bad so he calls paramedics and they Rush him to the hospital and that is where he lies and tells them he was attacked by a pitbull cuz he's worried they're going to find out about and then they're going to come and take his tiger away so anyway back to the police police are in the neighbor's apartment and they look through the hole that they had drilled in the neighbor's wall and they see a fully grown tiger just chilling
there so officers are like holy sh and they have to get together and come up with a plan to get this 400lb Beast out of this apartment without getting eaten so here's what they come up with police has one of the officers repel down the side of the building with a tranquilizer pew pew and he repels down until he gets to the apartment and there at the window he looks in and he spots Ming so he aims his tranquilizer pew pew through the bars of the window and then boom he shoots Ming with a dart
right in the butt and as you could probably guess Ming he doesn't like that so much so he gets pissed off and he gets up and he charges at the window and he slams up against it and at that very moment someone snaps a photo and you can see the officer dangling there and Ming Ming is coming for his ass but eventually luckily Ming does pass out from the tranquilizer and police they go into Antoine's apartment and they remove him and Al and they relocate both of them and then of course bam they arrest Antoine
and I don't have his mug shot but here's a picture of him in real life and he gets charged with reckless endangerment and possession of a wild animal and he goes to court and he's found guilty and he's sentenced to 5 months in prison so then what happened to all his animals well luckily Shadow survived he actually did not get eaten here's a picture of Antoine holding him an Al the Cayman he was actually rehoused to a proper Animal Sanctuary over in Indiana and Ming well Ming was also relocated to an animal sanctuary one in
Ohio that houses a lot of other big cats and there he had lots of room to run around and play he had a place to swim and he had lots of tiger friends and Ming actually lived there until he was 19 which is old in Tiger years and then unfortunately he passed away from natural causes
