Default OT: OMG! They shot Tigger!

Some Friday randomness:

Chinese zoo practices "escaped tiger" drills.

Just looks too funny to be serious, but I guess it was.

Speaking of tiggers, there's a new Winnie the Pooh film out in July. Chance to introduce a new generation to Pooh sticks?

A few weeks ago someone reported an escaped lion in the UK. If I remember correctly a nearby school was evacuated, helicopters were launched, SWAT teams were called out...it was then discovered to be a large stuffed lion toy that someone had put in a field.

That last picture of the real thing watching them haul off the dead Tigger is too funny.

Kind of like they are warning the real Tiger "if you try to run we will find you and then it is off to 'ze cooler'."

This is almost as funny as the Kansas City Police shooting a fake alligator ...

T'was a tiger, but the rest of the story is correct, BUT what would people have said if it had been a real one, and the police hadn't taken it seriously.
