3. What has the tiger been eating while on the loose?

Really. I fear for pet cats or dogs that were outside.

5. Was it on the loose?

I never read that. I thought someone was hiding it.

[Sanity Claws]

13. that's better

[wnylib]

18. Or anyone sitting in their yard, or out

taking a walk. Good grief. I love pet cats but because of what I've learned about cat behavior and skills from living with them, I have a very strong respect for (and fear of) their wild cousins.

It’s drinking from a bottle.

They'll takenhim whatever his age, though.

8. That's good

[happybird]

10. It must have been the photo the lawyer posted!

In all seriousness, I’m glad the tiger is safe now and made it though his adventure unharmed. I was afraid someone would shoot him.

[soothsayer]

15. That's what I was gonna say

“Oh, that tiger.”

11. Oddly enough, it's not illegal to own a tiger or other big cats

It should be, but there are plenty of places it's legal.

23. In Florida, people can own very lethal reptiles, spiders, snakes, ect.

So, you can be living in a luxury housing development, and the dill-weed next door can have a Krit and a Cobra in his house. The only requirement is the person submit to a state inspection once per year and supply anti-venom to a local hospital (like that will help in the case of a lethal snakebite that can kill a person within an hour).

22. I am ALL in when it comes to treating animals humanely, and most especially endangered ones.

However, when a hugely lethal animal is loose in a neighbourhood of human beings, my first thought wasn't "I hope the tiger is OK." Is it not normal to be concerned about innocent bystanders.

[Clash City Rocker]

25. Gee, I hope the poor kitty cat ate enough people. I hate for it to go hungry.

[BobTheSubgenius]

31. Very PETA of you.

[Raine]

26. People were warned about the tiger 🐅

the tiger was probably in more danger from people then vice versa.

[BobTheSubgenius]

30. I'm sure they were, and you're probably right about the danger ratio.

Tigers are not known for being well-armed, other than claws and teeth. I just meant that my first reaction was "Was anyone hurt or killed?
