That lady is funny !
It was approaching the officer in an aggressive manner ???? He would have shot it, lol.
And its just a youngster. I wouldn't worry about that house cat til its an adult !

Still just a youngster. Could still cause some damage if in the wrong mood.

LSU might recruit it.

Reading the title, I thought you meant Tiger Woods.

And I thought, somebody would shoot a tiger on the lawn, in the suburban Houston.

Now if you could get it a breeding partner, then you might have some good hunting in a few years time.

This is not gonna End well.People and Big Cats dont mix well,and its usually the Cat that gets a Bad Rap for doing what Nature has taught it to do.Cant understand when people are gonna learn.

I don't know diddle about actual sub-adult tiger behavior, but sub-adult brown bears are often the ones to be most cautious of; they are the ones most likely to push the envelope because they don't know any better. I'd think maybe the same could be true of apex felines. But that's just a guess.

My wife builds high end homes in Houston. If someone shot that tiger you would have a housewife riot and candlelight vigil. Likely a mural on an overpass somewhere.

Was I the only one amazed that the weapon of choice appeared to be a pistol and most likely a Glock 9mm?

I know it's better than nothing but he should really count his blessings on the outcome.

Good call on not shooting the cartel members pet tiger!

 

[Bullthrower338]

Only if this was anywhere but Houston would this surprise me, Houston all I can say is yep that’s a fk’n tiger on that lawn alright! Nothing surprises me here anymore.

Hounds dont work well with Tigers,some people had tried them for protection of Humans &Cattle,didnt end well.Have seen Dogs Pack who would Tree Leopards and wait for Spots to come down,take off like some one had lit their Backsides at the Sight of a Tigress.Tigers are a different ball game,specially the ones living in Jungles.Cant say much regarding the City Dwelling Tigers.

Times like this I wonder why people can't just stick to dogs and cats

 

[mark-hunter]

There is probably more tigers kept as pets in US, then they are in the wild, on Asian continent.

Possibly cheetahs too. I see alot of pics from the middle east, posing with their cheetah.

Joe Rogan has a stand up bit about there being more Tigers in Texas than all of the wild. My neighbor growing up had some. He was an exotic pet dealer though, had all kinds of crazy stuff.

To be different,the MAN.And then Shit happens.Way back in 1950s & 60s,in my part of the World a couple of people picked up Tiger/leopard Cubs after they shot the Mother,and got them home to keep as Pets,most of these Cubs didnt make it,the ones that did were either Shot or Put in Jail { Zoo's}.
