Tiger loose in Bolivar Peninsula
Another reason for the press to stay away...

Tiger reported loose on Bolivar Peninsula, judge says


GALVESTON -- Texas authorities busy trying to clean up after Hurricane Ike have a new problem on their hands: There's a tiger loose.
A county official said today that the animal somehow left its enclosure at an exotic pets center in Crystal Beach. Animal experts are coming in to try and catch the tiger.

Galveston County Judge Jim Yarbrough put it this way: ``Turns out there's a tiger, and I understand he's hungry ... so we're staying away from him.''

4. Yep, chained up in some cretin's basement, no doubt. Hope he's enjoying a bit of
freedom, and I hope they don't just shoot him dead...hopefully, a tranq dart and a new home at a big cat rescue outfit - poor thing -
