American OnlyFans model Tricia Denise Meyer has been given a suspended sentence for selling a wild cat, the Daily Mail reported.
Meyer used a jaguar named Amador in erotic photos. It was spotted by drug dealer Abdul Rahman during one of his meetings with the woman.
“All I knew was that the jaguar was cute, I had money and I wanted it“, the man explained. Meyer sold Amador to him for $26,000 and arranged for delivery from Texas to California.
Rahman gave the jaguar a new name - Hades, but soon resold it. The second buyer has a pregnant wife. Fearing for the safety of his unborn child, he threw the jaguar out into the street. The animal was found emaciated and with disheveled fur. It ended up in a lion, tiger and bear sanctuary. There, it was given a third name, Eddie. This is the name of the construction worker who found it.
Federal law prohibits the transportation of endangered species across state lines, and California law completely prohibits the possession of jaguars. An investigation began, which led investigators to Meyer. She had previously been convicted of raising and selling exotic animals - she kept tiger cubs in her backyard, which her 14-year-old daughter played with. One day she sold a Bengal cat, which attacked its new owner.
Despite the sentence, Meyer continues to post photos on social media of a Bengal tiger, a lemur, and exotic birds, but claims that she no longer trades in animals.
