    An Escaped Tiger is somewhere in your neighborhood.



    A juvenile Siberian Tiger so likely less than a year old has escaped a local zoo, being completely unaware of this on a night as you walk home, you come across some neighborhood kids, trapped by the very tiger there is nowhere for them to go and it looks like the tiger is going to attack them, what do you do?

    For me it depends on how much I liked the kids. LOL J/K I would try to find a garbage can or something big enough along with a stick and make a lot of noise. I am not stupid enough to think I could take on a tiger, but it being young enough, and an animal of instinct, I think it would run retreat away.

    Please dont try hurt an innocent animal most likely bred to be a spectacle. It would be quite small and terrified.

    Ring authorities and let them mishandle it/ potentially kill it because "too hard basket"

    Make enough noise and it should run especially if the kittie is young.
    If it were at least a few years older, retreat and call the cops...

    I'd probably call 911 and report a wild animal endangering people(I don't know the number for animal control, so I'd rather leave that to the dispatcher who has more experience than I do in handling emergency calls), while I proceed to walk away while trying to avoid drawing its attention. That being said...I don't wander around at night to begin with(allergy season+mosquitoes, Texas summers are fucking miserable), so in reality I'd likely just see the story about it on my local news after it had been handled.

    Even if it was stalking kids and maybe about to attack?

    Yeah, why the hell would I senselessly endanger myself? I'm not that confident in my ability to read the body language of a tiger beyond some standard stressed behaviors.

    Fair enough, just though with kids you might give it a go, otherwise, I'd agree

    Why are the kids out at night? The "kids" out here at night that I see look to be between 16-25. They can manage the tiger better than I could, considering it was multiple of them, and one of me in the scenario laid out.

    Seriously? A tiger is threatening a child and we're debating this? Just shoot it or run it over with your car...

    A juvenile tiger that was raised in a zoo stalking a group of kids in the middle of a city, trapping them, and 'maybe about to attack' is so completely out of character for how such animals behave that it renders the scenario a bit absurd. You might as well be asking what we would do if we saw a shooting star in the sky, and knew it was going to fall on an old lady crossing the street.

    Call authorities and hope they arrive too late to save the kids and then humanely euthanize the tiger (as living in captivity is torture).

    Dont think i would call the cops atleast they would probably just shoot it, animal controll perhaps. Maby even let nature have it's go.

    And i very much doubt a 1 year old tiger would attack anyone unless threatend or attacked.

    Send out my cats perhaps maby they would become friends and if not cats dont give a fuck they are known to scare away bears, alligators and stuff.

    In most countries it's illegal to shoot a child or run it over with your car.
