Ming was brought to Harlem in 2000, when a man named Antoine Yates, then a resident of the Drew Hamilton Houses in Harlem, purchased him from a wild animal dealer in Racine, Minnesota, in 2000. The tiger was just eight weeks old. Yates lived with Ming in his apartment for three years, feeding him chickens, livers, and bones from a nearby supermarket. He described Ming as “lovable” and “affectionate,” and said the animal slept with him in his bed every night.
