        They called for animal control to come tranq it, but before they could get there the tiger entered a populated area, and attacked a dog.

        I bet they feel like real men killing an innocent animal. Way to go. Should make you feel proud.

        Who carries sleeping darts? They needed to take fast action before it attacked again. It attacked a dog.if you were dog owner, you'd get it

        I get they may have had to react quickly, my only question is ...have the Atlanta police heard of a tranquilizer gun? Just asking 🤗

        Cops don't have tranquilizer guns. How far can a tiger run while they wait for a zoo to give them one? Cops had to act

        Just wish there was an alternative, I understand they had to act quickly though.
