Authorities in Nevada seized seven tigers from a small remote desert home owned by an exotic animal owner. The wild animals were snatched from Karl Mitchell's home in Pahrump - about an hour outside of Las Vegas - around 7am Wednesday morning, according to the Nye County Sheriff's Office. Mitchell, 71, has reportedly been violating special condition permits and ordinances related to the ownership of his tigers for several years. In an exclusive interview with News 3 from jail after his arrest, Mitchell justified his actions. He explained that his tigers serve as his emotional support animals, saying, ‘I’m a 100 percent disabled veteran with PTSD. The VA and my doctors have approved the tigers to work as support animals.’ Read the full story at DailyMail.com. Link in bio. #news #nevada #animals #tigers #emotionalsupport
