LOL.
PETA, for some reason, is not happy with Floyd Mayweather and his early Christmas present — an adorable two-month old tiger cub from India given to him by his associates in Russia. PETA thinks she belongs in a sanctuary and not a luxury mansion eating only the finest steak for dinner evrey night. Did PETA even ask the tiger if she wants to move and go hang out in some smelly, big-cat reserve? Probably not, but that’s not stopping PETA from attempting to rip this poor animal from her loving family. For shame, PETA. For. Shame!
Dear @FloydMayweather,
Tigers should be in the wild. Please send this cub to a sanctuary. https://t.co/tOTT9uesRG pic.twitter.com/CUnlUtEWmg

1/5 @FloydMayweather can have anything he wants, & what he should want is an end to the wild-animal trade, not to be a facilitator of it.

2/5 Tigers do poorly as “pets” – they belong in their native habitats, not in a cage in a celebrity’s home as a “show-off” prop…

3/5 "Pet" cubs are certain to be discarded at a roadside zoo or a cheap circus or another tawdry end after they become too strong to handle.

4/5 Having been torn away from their mothers at a young age, many cubs are violently beaten & all are deprived of what’s natural & important

5/5 Wild animals kept as amusements never have a fighting chance at a natural life. @FloydMayweather send her to a sanctuary!

Floyd has yet to settle on a name and is asking for suggestions over on his Instagram page:
Any suggestions for a name for this two-month old, female tiger?

As for PETA, they might have a bigger issue with the coat Mayweather wore when he arrived in Russia, made from “roughly 500 chinchillas“:
