Ming the Bengal Tiger Raised in a Harlem Apartment Has Died

Ming grew up for three years in a public housing project

He became front page news when he was discovered in 2003

Yes it really was a Bengal tiger cub

It indeed grew into a 400 pound behemoth

mostly during the three years it spent

in Apartment 5E of the Drew Hamilton Houses

I guess it was a rent controlled apartment

A monument in a pet cemetery in Westchester County

WELL I BET THEY SPENT A LOT OF THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY JUST FEEDING THIS GUY !!

Chic Silber said...


And they must have done

a ton of shoveling Casey

I'd bet the common trash

chute must have been a

slippery slimey mess

I WONDER WHAT THEY FEED HIM ?? ZOO PREAM OR CHICKEN !! EITHER WAY TIGER SHIT SMELLS PRETTY RANK !!

Chic Silber said...


I remember an attempt to feed

the big cats on Big Bertha a

"nutritional log" that was

called "Nebraska Sweet Feed"

It didn't go over very well

It was rejected by Charly

but Gunther allowed a mix

of diet with real meat but

not for very long

ALL carnivores provided

exceptionally odiferous

feces & urine that was

also very caustic that

required their cages to

be regalvanized yearly

(Valmont in Tampa)
