Tiger roaming Houston street leads to tense confrontation
NY Post ^ | 10 May 2021 | Kenneth Garger

A tiger was spotted on the loose in a Houston neighborhood Sunday night — with one man pointing what appears to be a gun at the wild animal.

The big cat with a collar was roaming around the residential area on Ivy Wall Drive at about 8 p.m. when the unidentified, apparently armed man yells at another man to take the tiger inside, KHOU 11 reported.

The apparent owner eventually grabs the tiger and brings it back inside his home, photos show.

probably nitpicking, but “leads to tense confrontation” sessions unnecessary.

Tiger is only scary when he's behind the wheel.

Look. I love tigers, they are magnificent creatures, and beautiful.

But it is a damned tiger. In a neighborhood.

First, that guy standing there is a complete ignoramus. He has no idea how fast that tiger could be on top of him. None whatsoever. And he likely has a 9mm or something like that pointed at it.

He should have been in a safe place, or he should have had a safe place accessible for easy access and shot the tiger.

The idiocy of people.

I think it should be against the law to have a wild animal in your possession......period!

Exactly right. A tiger that size is like a pit bull - very gently, until they're not.

I doubt it's legal to have a big cat like that in a neighborhood like that.

According to the Tiger King guy (now in prison) you can buy a tiger for only $2,000!

Rear end: Don't shoot... don't shoot. We're not a tiger. We were just... um...

Ainsworth: Why are you dressed as a tiger?

Rear end: Hmmm... oh... why! Why why... isn't it a lovely day today...?

Ainsworth: Answer the question.

Rear end: Oh we were just er...

Front end: Actually! We're dressed like this because... oh no that's not it.

Rear end: We did it for a lark. Part of a spree. High spirits you know. Simple as that.

Front end: Nothing more to it...

[All stare.]

Well *actually*... we're on a mission for British Intellingence, there's a pro-Tsarist Ashanti Chief...

Rear end: No, no.

Now look...

Rear end: All right, all right. we are dressed as a tiger because he had an auntie who did it in 1839 and this is the fiftieth anniversary.

Front end: No. We're doing it for a bet.

Rear end: God told us to do it.

Front end: To tell the truth, we are completely mad. we are inmates of a Bengali psychiatric institution and we escaped by making this skin out of old cereal packets...

Now I know why I keep some large caliber rifles around.

Just in case.

My wife asked me once why I needed a elephant rifle.

I said to keep the elephants out of the garden.

She said we don’t have any elephants in the garden.

I said see it is working.
