Police conducting an investigation found exotic and dangerous animals at
a home in Houston, Texas, where a woman lives with her 14-year-old
daughter.
Houston Police Department officers said they were sent to investigate
34-year-old Trisha Meyer’s home after she tried selling a Savannah
kitten to a man in California for $3,000, but never gave him the kitten
after receiving the money.
When officers arrived at the home, they found several wild animals all roaming freely inside Meyer’s home,
including three tigers, a cougar, a skunk and a fox, police said. They also found Meyer’s teenage daughter in the home during that time, police said.
She also told police she had several monkeys, which can be vicious and
had attacked someone previously.
Police said she had permits for the tigers, but none for the skunks and
foxes. BARC Animal Shelter and Adoptions took the animals into
protective custody.
Meyer was arrested on Monday and charged with child endangerment. She is
being held on a $2,000 bail in Nye County Jail, Nevada
