A cannabis smoker was shocked to find a caged tiger in a derelict house.
Bizarre on Female First
Houston Police initially thought the caller was halluciating due to the drug when they were first contacted, but arrived on the screen with an animal cruelty unit and shelter volunteers.
Authorities nicknamed the tiger Tyson after the movie 'The Hangover', in which boxer Mike Tyson has a wild animal as a pet.
Officials told KHOU-TV the tiger was well fed and healthy, but had been kept in the cage with a nylon strap and screwdriver.
Police say that the tiger could have easily opened the cage and gone on a ''rampage.''
The big cat was transferred to an animal shelter and then moved to an animal sanctuary in Texas.
In Texas, it is legal to own a tiger if the owner has a wild game permit.
