Canadian Man Killed By His Pet Tiger

by Earl Morningstarr

66 year old Norman Buwalda from Ontario was mauled to death by his pet tiger this weekend.

Buwalda was the chairman of the Canadian Exotic Animal Owner’s Association, and actively fought for the right to keep dangerous big cats as pets. In June 2004 a 10 year old boy was seriously injured at Buwalda’s home when a pet Siberian tiger mauled the child during a photo opportunity. Buwalda had led the animal out of it’s cage on a leash so the boy could have his picture taken with it when it attacked the child causing serious neck and head injuries.

No charges were made against Mr Buwalda, and he continued to keep big cats at the property. Concerned neighbours campaigned for a new bylaw which prohibited people from keeping exotic pets, but Mr Buwalda fought the bylaw and won.

However on Sunday Buwalda entered the cage of one of his pet tigers alone, and for some unknown reason it attacked and killed him. A family member discovered his mutilated body in the tiger’s cage and managed to coerce the tiger into a separate pen. Once the tiger was isolated Mr Buwalda’s body was recovered.

Police are investigating but say that no law has been broken. It is not known what will happen to the animal, it is entirely up to the deceased’s family.
