Tiger in New York
"Police have no special training on how to deal with tigers," Durkin said. "Based on this tiger and the last tiger, we may have to incorporate something into our training."
i would like to nominate the above as a candidate for the stupid quote of the year award. this after the white tiger - apollo - was apprehended in queens, n.y.
it is rumored that the tiger after having escaped the circus went for a nice jaunt in forest hills but after setting his eyes on jamaica decided that he was better off in his own cage. as far as i know PETA is not involved in this case yet, but certainly if the cops decide to take lessons in capturing tigers, i am sure the PETA folks will want to be on hand to film everytime to make sure the handcuffs go on without abuse.........
