“My main concern right now is focusing on finding him and finding the tiger because what I don’t want him to do is harm that tiger. We have plenty of places we can take that tiger and keep it safe and give it a home for the rest of its life,” Mr Borza said.
Cuevas’ attorney, Michael W Elliott, said once he verifies that police have filed a charge in the case he will arrange for his client to turn himself in.
But Mr Elliott said he didn’t think Cuevas was the owner of the tiger or that he was taking care of the animal.
