True story: Apollo the white tiger, a circus feline, went AWOL and took a walk in the park in New York. He calmly walked past a number of hyoomans (including church types) but was very well behaved. Cops eventually formed a circle around him, but this one has a happy ending; the trainer came along, and told Apollo to get in his cage, and he did so! No muss, no fuss, and all ends well.--It all goes to show that furs can be very reasonable, and just like a nice walk now and then!

Kewl. Saw some deer in home depot parking lot ahwile back. But nothing as nifty as a tiger out for a nice peaceful walk.

"furs can be very reasonable"

hate to tell you this, but.. eh.. Panthera Tigris aren't furs. To most of the definitions around here.

Luck for the tiger. It takes one stupid arse to ruin it...some kid to step on his tail, or pull on him.
But he was a very good boy, it seems.

And how come all we've heard about was Sher Khan? See? Us tigers can be very civilized and well behaved if given our respected elbow room (or... tailswishing room in this case I guess).

And yeah, I would've payed to have been there too, to see both the tiger, and the looks on the human's faces that were walking the park that day.
