The case in Georgia made me remember a LONG time ago this guy had a tiger in his backyard. There were others around here that had them too - but this one guy, I know he went broke and lost his house. What did he do with that tiger, I wondered?
It used to be no big thing for people to have these exotic animals. This was like very early 70s. Mom and dad would take me for a ride to see some of them -they never took me to the zoo, lol, but they'd take me to rubberneck and try to see the tigers and lions in the local guys' back yards.
I started wondering if a tiger got loose or was set free in a national forest or something, if it could JUMP or go up in the trees so far as to cause dogs to lose the scent. The guy in GA that went missing beside the big fence where they found his shoe and some scraps of clothes made me think tiger.
Looked it up - said some tigers can jump 10 feet high, 30 feet in distance.
I was just thinking...someone with one of those might say they put it down but really take it WAY out in the mountains in a park and let it go. If I was in Georgia and saw a tiger coming at me, I'd just die right on the spot.
