Florida high school’s prom drew a lot of criticism after a caged and distressed tiger was wheeled out on the dance floor for a live performance. On May 14th, a high school hosted a prom at a DoubleTree hotel in Miami, Florida which created a huge uproar in controversies discussed today. This event became a main focus after reports were made about a “stressed” and caged tiger that was put on display for people who attended the dance. This caused several questions regarding if the situation was safe for not only the students, but for the wild animal itself. Also, many concerned family members wondered how the school allowed the students to be exposed to such a “performance” and felt the social occasion was extremely wrong and unjust.

Students who were present, the school principal, DoubleTree Hotel, and even the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) spoke out about their opinions on the tiger at prom. This highlights how all sides of the story are included in the reports made instead of only focusing on one perspective. For instance, it is mentioned that David Pugh, the Florida High School principal, apologized on the behalf of the school to those who found the tiger at prom to be offensive because those weren’t anyones intentions.

Unlike other newscasts, CNN does not record any information on the disturbed family members like ABC and Fox News
