The anonymous tipster called the city’s non-emergency line on a rainy February day last year.
“Somebody I know… they have a pet tiger in their house,†the caller said.
The dispatcher cleared her throat.
“How do you even get a pet tiger?†she asked.
The info the caller gave led officers to the garage of a small east Houston home, where, inside a 4-by-8 foot wire cage secured with a screwdriver, they found a tiger that weighed more than 300 pounds.
He looked poorly cared for, confined in the cage filled with layers of waste, according to county documents. And he was in a residential pocket of Manchester, within city limits, where it is illegal to own tigers.
