A Studio City man whose Bengal tiger cub was featured in a Logan Paul YouTube video has been convicted for unlawful possession of a restricted wild animal.
, posted in October 2017, featured the cub meeting Paul’s dog, Kong. The video has been viewed more than 8.6 million times.With his widely viewed YouTube videos, Paul has become an internet celebrity. In 2018, he came underfor posting a video that showed what appeared to be a dead body in a Japanese forest that was known as a suicide spot.
In the tiger video, Paul is seen rubbing the cub’s belly and letting the cat play with his small dog. A disclaimer flashes on screen informing viewers that the video was “filmed in a closed and controlled environment with animal professionals.” The cat and the dog chase each other, intermittently taking turns to growl. The tiger paws at the dog, and the dog yips in return.
The city attorney’s office initially suspected that Perkins obtained the tiger from an out-of-state dealer. Capt. Patrick Foy of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife said investigators were still looking into how the tiger came into Perkins’ possession. “California wildlife officers are doing everything possible to stop the trafficking of wildlife in California and all over the world,” said David Bess, deputy director and chief of the law enforcement division for the California agency. “Addressing the crimes associated with possession and mistreatment of this tiger is a measurable gain in that effort.”
