Michelle Rodriguez’s tiger trouble

 

 

Wednesday, 5th July 2006, 11:41

 

LIFE STYLE EXTRA (UK) – ‘Lost’ star Michelle Rodriguez has been blasted by animal rights activists for taking a baby tiger cub to a nightclub.

 

The actress played with Skanda, a nine-week-old white tiger, for a charity event she was hosting in aid of a nature sanctuary.

 

PETA have now slammed the star for using the endangered animal for entertainment purposes.

 

A spokesman for the animal rights organisation, Dan Mathews, said: "These are wild animals, not party animals.

 

"We know Michelle Rodriguez is an animal lover, but I think she is unaware how infant animals need to be around their mother and not a clanging party scene.

 

"They’re not meant to be an ornament at a party, even one that is designed to raise money for animals. It kind of defeats the purpose."

 

Rodriguez fed the baby tiger a bottle full of milk and went swimming with it in a pool.

 

The tiger was said to have looked distressed as it scrambled around the venue.

 

Club owner Satsky, who paid $10,000 to hire the tiger, said: "The music was bothering him a little bit. But his trainer was constantly feeding him milk, so that kind of calms him down."
