Video of the encounter shows the tiger coming face-to-face with an armed off-duty Waller County sheriff's deputy, police said.The big cat was later corralled back inside the home, then the caretaker rushed the tiger away in a white Jeep as police arrived, the Houston Chronicle reported.
Tigers are not allowed within Houston city limits unless a handler, such as a zoo, is licensed to have exotic
That's ridiculous! There should be law that prohibited these animals from private individuals. Unless a zoo or sanctuary. That's an accident just waiting to happen. Luckily, no children or adults were injured... HoustonTiger 🏡🐅
wow! someone could of been hurt..how did it get out? i guess everyone sees the off duty officer as the bad guy till that tiger kills someone..Theeeeeeeen 'the tiger' would be the issue🙄 im glad he had a gun for his protection..AND WHY WAS THERE SO MANY PEOPLE AROUND GET INSIDE!
There are way too many thoughts and way too many stupid things happening to fit into one concise tweet.
Does anybody have a steak I’m really hungry says the tiger in the yard
Damn BLM !!!!!!!!!
Throw the book at owner,idiot.
Not a good symbol for Huston. Read my book for more on tiger symbolism and the current state of the world!
who's trying to reenact that scene in jungle book? all we need is a bear and we're good to go.
Your tweet is different from what's in the video. The man entered a house, not a car.
willcuatrocopes we’re getting one
problem and danger is the angry trigger happy Trumpie gun nut guy that carries a gun in a holster around in a neighborhood looking for any reason to use it not the tiger and the tiger wasnt doing anything for him to point a gun right at it as well as go on his private property
You think moving to Houston will fool me? Ha! You can't deceive me, Florida Man!
I'm pretty sure 'the zoo' doesn't send big cats home with workers. I would venture to say this young tiger was getting ready to be sold off somewhere by the guy who took off in the car with it. It didn't look that old...

So, the cop didn't feel that a TIGER was a big enough threat to shoot it, yet a woman sleeping in her own bed is.
“Put the tiger back inside!” I bet those are words he never thought he’d ever say out loud.
Re: 'The man was charged with murder in November and was out on $250,000 bond' - in TEXAS Really The tiger is fine but an accused murderer on the streets?
That's a lot of cat nip needed.
I think notifying the neighbors you have a tiger in your house should be a new rule. 😉
This is disgusting. Those animals are not pets. They don't belong in homes. Abuse!
Bet the neighbors wished they bought that rock now. 😂
Why does anyone need to keep a wild animal in captivity FFS. Animal misery to satisfy a manbaby.
Why the F are you allowed to have a tiger as a pet in the US. So many screened up things about this country
Texas is amazing samirkeskar :)
A tiger was rumored to be out in my former TX neighborhood (not true.) A teacher was quietly getting the children inside early from recess on some pretext. The principal went outside and shouted, 'Run for your lives! A tiger is loose!'
Cop had to find his way into the mix
Who pet a tiger. White people dawg 😤😤😤
Point a weapon at my pet, be it a tiger or a goldfish, and there is ZERO chance that I’ll allow you to continue living.
Imagine the size of the litter box.

Please do not kill that animal. Fine the owner and if necessary take the animal away from him but put it in a sanctuary. Don't kill it simply because you fear it.

wow good thing that wasn't a panther, deputy would have shot on sight
Even though it should be illegal it’s not illegal to own a tiger in Texas. Technically the cop had no business telling him to take the cat inside since it was on the owners property.
Yes that was a tiger being taken inside a house by a man. When was this tiger rushed away in a white car? I didn't see police arrive on the scene? Maybe take a little more time to reread what you type before you tweet.
😁u pet so horrible
Call John !

Tigers are legal to own in Texas. Maybe do a story about how the cop pointed his gun at the dude trying to get the tiger?
The idiot with the gun flailing his arms and yelling around an animal like that wasn’t helping.
Owning these should be illegal 🤦♂️
