Bengal tiger found shot to death near Dallas apartment complex
The discovery of a dead Bengal tiger on Tuesday in a vacant lot near Overton Road and 35E in Dallas was a departure from the dogs and cats city sanitation normally is called in to remove. A Dallas Zoo necropsy found that the tiger, a fairly young female, was probably someone's pet. Found in otherwise good health, she was shot five times, once in the head. The zoo is keeping the body until federal officials determine further action.
