The Law Explained

In a surprisingly specific exotic animal ordinance, Canton requires owners of large feline predators to notify authorities immediately if their pet escapes. The fact that the law specifically names tigers strongly implies that someone, at some point, lost a tiger and didn't tell the police right away.
