Not being a game animal means no closed season.
A tiger?! In Africa?!
Hope it has a tracking device.
I thought it was an advert.
It was two tigers and they’ve been captured.
Zero bail. These things can happen.

THE TIGERS ARE SAFE!
Like much of Southwest Georgia, Pine Mountain Safari sustained extensive tornado damage this morning. Fortunately, none of our animals and employees were hurt. However, several animal enclosures were breeched, and two tigers briefly escaped. Both have now been found, tranquilized, and safely returned to a secure enclosure.
We appreciate your concern and support during this difficult time. Pine Mountain Safari is committed to the safety of our employees, our animals, our customers, and our community. We will continue to update this page with other relevant storm-related information, as warranted.

Living in NW GA, concern for the tigers’ safety wasn’t even on my radar.
Oops, link to article about finding them. Not much detail.

Somehow, the Daily Mail in the UK knows before US reporters do.
LSU or Auburn?
Heh...best
In Texas, puma have about a 500 square mile range. Don’t know about tigers.
We call them exotics in Texas. All year long. Fallow, Blackbuck, red stag, nilgai,etc. We have a ton of exotics running around (and hogs too).
If it ain’t native it can be hunted year round here. Includes elk for some reason.?
Elk are actually native to Texas. Go figure.
Here kitty kitty kitty...
Not a lot of population density inTroup County, Ga. ?
This ‘Twist’ would be worthy of a Wizard of Oz remake......
Good news! Glad theyre home and unharmed.
For the Lord’s sake, DART the animal, and knock it out— not let some moron blow it away like Bungalow Bill.
Disgusting. Yes it is a wild animal probably hungry- but you can bait the thing with meat filled with ketamine or tranquilizer and preserve its life.
Oh no— big brave bwana. It’s not its fault if the enclosure was broken and set it free. Fear wins everytime with the ill informed. You can tranq it with a long gun.
has anyone checked the homes of Eenie, Meenie, Miney, or Moe?
