He's USDA - like all Florida residents.

What next? Calling zoo animals "pets?"

Idiot brainwahed reporters...

  Hillsborough man injured by pet tiger
  Balm, Florida - Florida Fish and Wildlife inspectors say a 37-year-old Hillsborough County man was injured by one of his pet tigers.

  Lancelot Kollmann was entering the cage of the 250-pound female tiger when he slipped and fell, startling the animal. 

  The tiger swatted Kollmann, cutting and scratching his face, arms and chest. Kollmann was able to exit and lock the cage before asking a neighbor to drive him to a nearby hospital.

   Kollmann houses numerous exotic animals on his property on Andrews Road in Balm. 

  He acquired some of the animals from his father, Manuel Ramos, a former circus owner. 

  Ramos was forced to turn his animals over to his son after an elephant broke loose from a chain and trampled to death a 52-year old female family member in 2000.
