An autopsy was performed and the tiger was cremated. Staff workers will hold a private service when the ashes are buried in a section of the preserve set aside for animals that die there.<br />Thriller and her brother Sabu were born on Nov. 20, 1998, and lived with Jackson until May 4, 2006, Hedren said.<br />When Jackson left Neverland for good, his veterinarian asked Hedren to take the cats at her Shambala Preserve in Acton, about 50 miles north of Los Angeles.<br /><br /><br />Read more: Michael Jackson's tiger dies of lung cancer - seattlepi.com

    Poor tiger.  It always makes me so sad when an animal dies or is hurting.  :icon_cry:<br /><br />The tiger's name was Thriller?  Why does it seem like there is a clue in everything somehow?  :icon_neutral:

    Can't click on the link.  However, I hope this isn't the article that includes the sarcastic remark pertaining to Michael having been deemed to be such a humanitarian yet did not visit the tiger once nor pay anything for its care. I thought that bit of personal commentary was uncalled for to say the least.<br /><br />As for Thriller, rest in peace.  I didn't know animals got lung cancer.  Shows how much I know.
  • this is soo sad... i love tigers, and these animals meant soo much to mj, just like all his other beautiful animals...rip beautiful animal xx

    <br /><br />yes it is that article and i also thought that was a pretty strange thing for it to die from. i have heard of dogs getting cancer (not lung) , i guess believed to be from lawn care products but this just sound strange. also stood out to me the part about cremation and spreading the ashes , after the supposed comments from murray about how michael would want to be dealt with in that same manner sort of. :suspect:
  • I don't know for tigers but many of my rats died form lung "cancer" they had "metastase" (don't know english word for that) in their lungs and they died for being exhausted, unable to breath. In the end they had "respiratory destress" and we had to put them to sleep. <br /><br />Animals can have cancer... millions of pets are studied and killed in laboratory in the name of research against cancer, so, of course they can have cancers ;)

    Oh what a shame, really saddens me that everything I love MJ so far this scattered in different places, I mean their animals, their possessions .... very sad and makes me think like this fit into the hoax.  :confused:<br /><br /><br />              scaled.php?server=844&filename=tequieroms.jpg&res=landing
