Chance to name local group's tiger cubs to end today
Today is the last day to suggest names for the male and female tiger cubs that will be moved in late March to the Carnivore Preservation Trust in Pittsboro.
The cubs were found wandering on a road between Cleveland and Gaston counties in January.
The top five names for each of the cubs will be selected by the trust's staff and posted on its Web site by Tuesday. The public then will be able to vote for their favorites between Tuesday and Sunday.
Anyone may nominate names for the cubs by visiting http://www.cptigers.org and clicking on the tiger cub rescue link, by sending them to Name the Cubs c/o CPT, 1940 Hanks Chapel Road, Pittsboro, NC 27312, or by calling 542-4684.
All nominations must be received by noon.
