Why Mike Tyson had to get rid of his pet Bengal tigers? 

Mike Tyson was one of the richest athletes in his prime. He had a penchant for splurging on opulent items like pricey automobiles and a golden bathtub. When Tyson was incarcerated in 1992, he purchased two Bengal tigers while still in prison. After that, he bought another tiger. He lived with the tigers in his Las Vegas mansion for around a decade.

Kenya, Storm, and Boris were the names of the tigers. In one amazing occurrence, the tiger caused a woman to lose her arm. According to Tyson’s claims, the woman leaped from the fence surrounding his estate and landed among the tigers. When she began to play with them, one of the wild animals attacked her, seriously hurting her arm. It was a very dangerous incident, and Tyson often hesitates to talk about it.
