Another "name appropriate" story

Was watching the "tiger on the loose" story that's going on in Texas now. For those of you who aren't familiar with it, someone in a suburb in TX is keeping a full-sized tiger in his house.

The tiger escaped and was lounging around someone's yard. Needless to say, neighbors were shooting film on their smartphones from their porches.

The next thing we know, a neighbor is approaching the tiger with a gun. (Later on he said he never intended to shoot the tiger, yeah, right.) This brings the tiger's human out who kisses the tiger and then takes him away.

Soon the police show up but the tiger and human are gone.

Police find out the tiger's human is wanted for murder.

Cut to closing quote from a representative of the humane society who says it is incredibly inhumane and cruel to keep a grown tiger in your house. Her name--yes, this is her real name as shown on the screen: "Kitty Block."
