Can you become a Tiger King near Carson City? Maybe, but don't you dare feed any pigeons
Submitted by Kelsey Penrose on Fri, 04/03/2020 - 11:04am
A certain popular Netflix documentary, Tiger King, has taken the quarantined world by storm, in which several bizarre big-cat owners face off, alleging many criminal enterprises at each other with the back drop of exotic animals who sometimes maim their keepers.
It makes one wonder, what are local laws for keeping exotic animals? For the cost of $2,000, could you in Carson City procure yourself a baby tiger?

Orphaned bear cub captured Sunday in Verdi
Submitted by Jeff Munson on Sun, 11/03/2013 - 12:08pm
An orphaned male bear cub in Verdi that has eluded the Nevada Department of Wildlife since Friday was captured early Sunday morning in Verdi. The 30-pound black bear was caught in a culvert trap placed near the area where its mother and another cub were hit and killed by a car on the old Highway 40 near the intersection with Bridge Street in Verdi. The carcass of its dead mother was used as bait to lure the cub to the trap.
Saddle Up For KIds Event a Success
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Tue, 07/23/2013 - 1:19pmFood For Thought would like to think all the people who came out and supported us at our Saddle Up For Kids Events. Friday, June 28th’s dinner at the Governor’s Mansion and Saturday, June 29th’s Carnival at Mills Park wouldn’t have been as successful if not for our volunteers!
Warm Weather
Submitted by on Mon, 01/17/2011 - 4:37pmLooks like Spring is trying to make an early appearance this year. Of course I’m not fooled. We’ll get cold and snowy again, probably before the month is out. But the weather this weekend has kind of been a taste of what we’ll be in store for in a few months. It sure did the job of cleaning up the last of the remaining snow quickly. We’ve had huge snow patches all over town that have been in place since our last big snowstorm, weeks ago. Now they’re all gone, in a matter of just a couple of days.
