A tiger went missing in Houston for nearly a week. Here’s how the search unfolded and what’s next for him
Jose Ramos looked up from his dinner and met a strange sight outside his Houston home last Sunday.
A tiger.
He grabbed his phone, snapped a few pictures of the animal sitting in his front yard and posted them in a neighborhood forum, where the shots quickly grabbed the attention of an off-duty deputy living nearby.
The deputy showed up to the home and pointed a gun at the animal as he waited for police to arrive. A woman driving by began recording the scene.
Reps. Tracy Pennycuick, R-147th Dist., and Jeanne McNeill, D-133rd Dist., have introduced House Bill 1299, known as Victoria’s Law, in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.
Tiger on loose for nearly a week moved to sanctuary
Previously missing Houston tiger heads to sanctuary UP NEXT The tiger loose for nearly a week after seen roaming the streets of a Houston neighborhood has been moved to an animal sanctuary. India, the 9-month-old Bengal tiger, will be introduced to a half-acre wooded plot at the Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch in Murchison, Texas, Noelle Almrud, senior director of the sanctuary, told reporters at a press conference Sunday morning. He will be examined by the staff veterinarian and will be quarantined for 30 days. While India, who already weights 175 pounds, is still playful at this age, he could prove deadly once he matures into adulthood, Almrud said. While the cub is used to interacting with humans, the two other tigers the group has rescued from homes in Texas Elsa and Loki quickly acclimated to becoming wild tigers and receive no direct interaction with humans, she added.
