NITRO: TIGER IN TROUBLE

Chapter 1Junkyard JUNGLE
Nitro’s Kansas home was a tiny cage in a junkyard. (illustration credit 1.1)
Ten-year-old Nitro paced in his cage. It was the evening of February 21, 2009. The sun was setting quickly. Nitro’s owner, Jeffrey Harsh, was late with the tiger’s dinner.
Hungry big cats get restless, but Nitro couldn’t pace far. His chain-link cage was only 20 feet wide and 30 feet long—one-third the size of a school gym. Nitro was eight feet long. He could only take a few steps. Then he had to turn and walk the other way. Back and forth. Back and forth.
He stepped over bones in the dust. They were left over from earlier meals. He brushed against Apache, the other tiger in his cage. His empty belly grumbled. He growled and roared.
Nitro and Apache were not alone. There were three female lions in other cages nearby. All of these big cats were living at the Prairie Cat Animal Refuge near Oakley, Kansas—and they were all hungry.
A man wandered to the main gate. The cats’ eyes locked on him. He opened the gate and slowly came inside.
The man passed piles of junk. He looked into each animal’s cage. Nitro listened, while the other cats studied the stranger.
Then the man walked toward a lioness. He slipped his hand inside the metal bars of her gate.
It was a very bad choice.
