Russian Lawyer Sees Illegal ‘Gay Propaganda’ In Tiger-Goat Friendship

[ashling]

An unlikely friendship between Amur the tiger and Timur the goat -- who was originally meant to be the big cat's lunch -- became a viral sensation last year in Russia and beyond.

Now a Siberian lawyer is interpreting the newly acquired popularity of the animals and their home, the Primorsky Safari Park in the Russian Far East, differently.

Aleksei Krestyanov says that Amur and Timur are a mouthpiece promoting "gay propaganda" to an audience of children – which is banned under a law signed by President Vladimir Putin in 2013 that barred the spread of "propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations" among minors.

Krestyanov wants the manager of the safari park to be prosecuted
