Oct. 17, 2007 This will be my first post for this site I guess you can say. My life has been very interesting. About 4 months ago there was a traveling exhibit that came through Quincy and was at the Quincy Mall. They travel with their exotic cats offering the chance to have your picture taken with a baby tiger, and supposedly trying to raise as much money as they can for their new wildlife center in Atoka, Oklahoma. They were looking for travelling help and I inquired and got hired. They travelled all over the country to malls and fairs and such. I was telling the public that they have 110 acres and they are trying to finalize the deal on this land and that they are going to build the largest tiger habitats in the country. I was told to say that the San Diego and Disney Wildlife centers have about 1 to 2 acres for their exotic cats. But that is all lies. I looked it up when I got home and talked to several different people. They have about 10 acres per enclosure, depending on the size of the pride or group of cats, and also on the breed of animal. I didn’t find out until later that everything that they were saying and what I was telling the public were all lies. They lie for the sake of entertainment. Everything is a lie and they don’t think that the will catch up with them in the end but it will. For instance, the bossman Jay Riggs, tells us that about 25% of all of the white tigers in the world were born at his facilities. He says that all of the white tigers at Tiger Island are his. He says that all of the white tigers at the Disney Wildlife center are his. LIES!! ALL LIES!!

One of the lies that he tells the public during his educational show is that the white tigers were extinct for about 200 some odd years and the first one was spotted in 1951 and captured and became the grandfather to all white tigers today. I do not dispute that, but there were white tigers spotted and captured before 1951.

There were 8 cases of white tigers in Rewa State between 1909 and 1959. These were recorded in palace diaries and included a 2 year-old male captured near Sohagpur in December 1915 and kept for some years in captivity. The Maharajah Gulab Singh of Rewa captured this young male white tiger in December 1915 and it lived in captivity at his summer palace in Govindgarh until 1920 after which it was stuffed and presented to George V as a token of loyalty (it may still be in the British Museum today). HE Scott of the Indian Police described that animal in December 1920 in a Miscellaneous Note in the ay Natural History Society’s Journal. There was also a fine specimen of a white tigress in the Calcutta Zoo in 1920. The Maharaja of Rewa shot a white tigress in 1937. In 1946 a pregnant white tigress was shot by the Administrator and the six unborn cubs were described as white though this was not substantiated. The Maharaja shot a white tiger in 1947, the last white tiger to be shot in the Rewa area.

The earliest known photograph of a live white tiger comes from the Journal of the ay Natural History Society (JBNHS), from pg. 932 from No. 4, Vol. XXVII (1921) about the white tiger captured by the Maharaja of Rewa in 1915. The article was published in 1921 although the tiger died in 1920. An earlier photo of a white tiger in the JBNHS is of one shot around 1910 as part of the article “An Albino Tiger From The Central Provinces” and is briefly referred to in this later article.If the white tigers were extinct for about 200 some odd years, and the first one was captured in 1951, how is all of this possible?He also beats his wife Jamie Palazzo. She is so scared that she wont say anything. She has battered wife syndrome. He doesn’t leave marks that I can see, but he beats her because I saw him do it. He told me that he did it, but then told me that he was joking. They neglect their children. They don’t watch them, and then when they can’t find their children, the bitch at the employees for not watching the children. He threatens his employees all of the time. Everything that he says and does is a lie. And it is hard to determine what is truth and what is lies that comes out of his hole excuse for a mouth.

Jay Riggs thinks that he can scare me into doing whatever he wants me to. He threatens his employees into making them do what he wants them to, but not me. No! No! I wrote a blog telling the truth, and he told me to remove it or take out their names and expects me to do it. HA!! I no longer work for him, and he doesn’t scare me. I didn’t change anything or remove it. He can threaten all he wants to. He says that if I don’t keep my mouth shut about what went on, he will tell the police that I was fired for use, and that I stole all kinds of merchandise from his exhibit and was selling it on the Midway of the Oklahoma State Fair Grounds. I didn’t do it cause he doesn’t scare me anymore. When I quit, I was in Oklahoma City and I was stranded. I was staying in a hotel with 2 of the other employees, and he wouldn’t let them take me to the hotel. He told me that I can find my own way there. The hotel was 4 miles from the State Fair Grounds. That was bull. Any ways, this is my first blog post for Politics and Youtube in Review. My next post will be here pretty soon.

Stacy Nov. 15, 2007 I use to work for this FRAUD, he travels around the country with up to 14 tigers in a horse trailer, He does not even own land with a cage on it. When he is done using the cats to make money with them he pawns them off on other parks and sancturaries. I know for a fact he buys all the baby tigers and most of the white ones come from Amarillo Wildlife Refuge in Amarillo TX. He gives $5,000.00 for a single cub but turns around and makes 60,000.00 on it taking photos and lieing to people that he rescues them. he makes his employees who are not trained to walk into a horse trailer to feed 14 cats at one time babysite all of his kids. Someone is going to die on his crew as he cant keep help and it is so dangerous to have untraided people feeding big cats in a horse trailer. Also when we trvel from place to place the animals go hours without food and water. Some times we drive all day and night without stopping to check on them one time. Never do they call a vet to help a sick one. IF you ever see Great Cat Adventures out in the public, do not support them as it is all LIES

Animal_Voices Dec. 12, 2007 I think I spoke to you at The Shoppes at Grand Prairie, Peoria, IL.Thank you for posting this blogg. I know you tell the truth.

Melissa_Medina May 2, 2008 It’s interesting to read this… I am in the process of finding a facility where I can take my wife — she always wanted to pet a tiger. The place you used to worked seemed like the ideal place to go. This doesn’t seem the case anymore. Do you have any suggestions as to where else I can go? Thanks

Billy January 13, 2008 I have had experiences with Jay also. I have seen him lie about the ages of cats to prolong public contact. I have seen him offer more hands on work with the tigers to the young females willing to join him in the evening.
