quote:

HENRY CO., GA - The first reports came into police around 6 a.m. Wednesday, of a tiger loose on I-75 near the Jodeco Road overpass. Police said, "Henry County officers responded, locating the tiger and kept visual sight of it while animal professionals were contacted. The tiger began to run toward the Meadow Brook community off of Jodeco Road, to the back of a residence and began to attack a dog." That's when police shot and killed him.

quote:

"With the tiger in close proximity to a school bus route in a densely populated area, officers made the decision to put the animal down with gunfire fearing that occupants of the home could be in danger as well as others in the area," a statement from police read. It is unknown where the tiger came from, both the county DNR and Animal Control arrived on the scene to remove the tiger from the yard of the home where the dog lived. Anyone with information on where the tiger came from is encouraged to contact Henry County Police (770-288-8200) and or Henry County Animal Control (770-288-7387) or Georgia Department of Natural Resources.

The dog's owner, Brittney Speck, said that her dog, named Journey, is doing fine. She has been living in the home for almost 2 months and said she woke up to police lights and hysterical barking.

Damn, I knew Mike's cage was leaking but I didn't think he could make it to Atlanta and grow up that quickly.

A tiger attacks a dog in Atlanta.

This has to be a SEC championship preview.

I mean, they could have let him run around a while down there. Tigers got to eat and it could help that area

That sucks they had to put it down but I understand. PETA will be outraged over this but yet 99% probably cheer for abortion.

Tough dog to withstand even one swipe from a tiger.

They shouldn't have shot it because it was attacking a dog.

If he had simply complied with the officer he wouldn't be dead. Amirite?
