Prince
UPDATE (August 17, 2023):
ALBION, Ind. (ADAMS) – Tuesday, August 15, One10 West Main Street (110 W Main Albion, IN) served “Tigerloins”, also known as a tenderloin, all day with 50% of “Tigerloin” sales going towards eye surgery for Black Pine Animal Sanctuary’s white Bengal tiger, Prince.
During his 2023 annual exam, Prince was found to have a detached retina and cataracts, causing loss of sight. Black Pine says that surgery can restore Prince’s vision, but the animal sanctuary needed help to cover this medical expense.
Representatives with Black Pine released the following:
Owners, Ashley Peterson, and Anne Peterson created the “Tigerloin” idea and were determined to raise the needed $3,000 for the eye surgery. Numbers are in and One10 West Main Street exceeded its goal of $3,000 and raised $4,035.50 with tigerloin sales, tips, online donations, and staff donating their wages for the day.
Ashley stated, “We are beyond thrilled that Price will now be able to have his eye surgery! The turnout was crazy. We ordered 200 tenderloins for the day and sold out. In fact, the kitchen was pretty much wiped out by 8pm.”
Black Pine Animal Sanctuary Vet Tech Laura Langrebe stated, “This is incredible. The extra $1,035.50 will be used for pre-surgery dental work for Prince.”
Online donations can still be made here.

ALBION, Ind. (ADAMS) – This Tuesday, August 15, One10 West Main Street (110 W Main Albion, IN) will be serving “Tigerloins”, also known as a tenderloin, all day with 50% of “Tigerloin” sales going towards eye surgery for Black Pine Animal Sanctuary’s white Bengal tiger, Prince.
During his 2023 annual exam, Black Pine representatives say that Prince was found to have a detached retina and cataracts, causing loss of sight.
Surgery can restore Prince’s vision, but Black Pine needs help to cover this medical expense.
Black Pine released the following:
Owners, Ashley Peterson, and Anne Peterson created the “Tigerloin” idea. “We have loved Prince since he came to Black Pine. Our staff is donating their wages for the day and are determined to raise the $3,000 surgery cost. Our tenderloins are extremely popular, and we are ready for the day.”.
Prince, along with Ima, Elvis, and Patronus were seized in 2021 by the Department of Justice for the illegal possession and transport of animals and violations of the Animal Welfare Act from the Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park of Netflix docuseries Tiger King infamy. In January 2022, the four tigers were permanently placed at Black Pine Animal Sanctuary to live the rest of their lives in peace. During his 2023 annual exam, Prince had a detached retina and cataracts, causing loss of sight. Surgery can restore Prince’s vision, but Black Pine needs help to cover this medical expense.
Black Pine Fund Development Specialist Diane Current is excited about the event. “Black Pine is a not-for-profit organization that depends on the generosity of donors and businesses such One10 West Main Street. When a business creates an event to raise money for our residents’ words cannot express how thankful we are”.
The hours for the event are 11:00 am – 8:00 pm. Sandwiches are $6 and with fries are $9 and available for dine-in and carry-out.
