"Lion-like animal" apparently slips out of contained area

The Milwaukee lion saga continued Sunday morning as the "lion-like" creature apparently slipped through a police dragnet on the north side.

Police saw the animal in a ravine near N. 31st and W. Cameron Ave. as late as 7:15 Sunday morning but by 9:30 they said they had searched the entire four-block containment area and had come up empty.

"Unfortunately, we weren't able to keep visibility on it very long and it went into some very thick vegetation," Milwaukee Police Lt. Paul Formolo said.

After the sighting this morning, they made a more extensive search and called in canine units, trying to get the lion out into the open. Officers with rifles and staff from the DNR with traquilizers searched the ravine, making noise and shaking bushes. For now, police guess the animal broke the police barrier and headed north.

Last night local news interviewed someone who could have been Obama’s son. Residents are spooked.

Good to see that Milwaukee Police have such high tech equipment that projects visibility on targets of interest. The Invisible Man knows to stay away!

“...called in canine units...”

I wonder...when a dog gets onto the scent of a lion, does it know what it’s up against? Or does it think this is just another pussy cat?

I sort of like imagining the surprise...

The Lord said “I thought that dog was a lion too when I first seen it”
