Oh, and let me see if I got this straight:

1. A B-movie Tarzan actor keeps a collection of exotic beasties in cages.

2. His tiger gets out and roams the neighborhood.

3. While preparing to tranq-dart the critter, a local constable finds it necessary to use three or four* 9mm** FMJ*** bullets instead.

4. And the only person in all of this who is in any legal trouble is a woman who offered her eatin' pig**** as an attractant while the tiger was still at large.

Gotta wonder sometimes.

*So I heard.

**Purely conjecture. For sundry reasons, possibly astrological in origin, seems to be a popular caliber.

***More conjecture. I think most constabularies frown on the use of hollow-point or other expanding ammunition.

****As opposed to a pig kept (again for sundry reasons, possibly astrological in origin) as a pet.
