It happened on a Trek in the Sahyadri Mountain ranges as we were climbing the wall of a mountain ... just as my head came over the top edge.... I was staring at the face of a startled leopard.... next second it bolted out of sight....
Edifis this is what happens if you dont drop your date back home... the whole town gets behind them.... lol
How would me doing such a brave thing be a favor to you? Besides i'm not going to go hunting for something i dont believe is there...pretty much like you go hunting with a comb for hair you dont have :D
smoke. simple, a tiger as a pet, due to the Cites agreement Qatar has signed, is not quite in the realms of legality. An alien, well, what to do if one of those falls from the sky.....yanni ;)
In a place where the freaking newspapers publish stuff like alien found on the corniche, whats a tiger running on the lose going to make any difference hmmm?
Smoke: do you honestly think a government that has signed on to the CITES treaty forbidding the importing of animals like tigers will admit some allowing someone to own one?
If this is True, then they should have published and Announced to all the PUBLIC coz it would not only be danger for the people stayn in tat area but also to the people visitng tat area...right ? :(
No smoke, it is not a rumour. Education City has been closed all morning, people in the area were advised to stay indoors. apparently the animal has been "secured in a space"......
And who do you think will officially confirm this?lol
Other threads about this are being deleted, the OP here has not provided any credible source for the "breaking news" Everyone's saying something different....so its as good as a rumor si?
Smoke, the tiger is our for 2 days, and still the news is not published or announched to Public..might be still stuck in the Printing machines...:( Duh !
This whole thread should be deleted...there's no evidence to support the claim, some saying its caught, a friend of mine working in QF says there are still helicopters roaming the area searching for it. Lets post something when it actually comes out on some official news media.
I work in Education City, and Qatar Foundation sent out a text that a tiger was in Education City this morning around 9:00am. People were advised to stay indoors. At 9:30am, a follow-up text was sent that the tiger was captured. It must have been the same 'escaped tiger'.
It has not been caught. Its not even confirmed if there is a Tiger but police is still searching and they have not received a claim from an owner about an escaped tiger.
The report to the police was made by a worker from the Shammal area
And here is a link from today's Al-sharq newspaper.

Ministry of the Interior received yesterday morning a communication from one of the workers Bmntp north watching it, "tiger" area Akherittiyat .. The forces of the brother and Aelovesap and patrols after receiving the communication to go to Akherittiyat, where she combed the area has not been found so far on Tiger.
The Interior Ministry source confirmed that the ministry of the East to deal with all reports seriously ..
Something has to happen to make these idiots realize that wild animals aren't pets Flor, and if a mauling is what it takes, then a mauling is what it takes.
Oh Jungle book comes to mind, i wanna walk like you wanna talk like you, do do do, and yes its true i wanna be like you, do do, walk like you, oh yea exfator here we go...
Qatar Animal Welfare Society (QAWS) is extremely sad to hear of the "pet" tiger that escaped in the Kharaitiyat area and was shot by the police. Can anyone confirm this story?
I asked the tigress out for a date. I sent her a private message! We selected the back of an abandoned villa in UmmSalal as our secret rendezvous. There I disguised her as a Qatari lady. The two cubs I lodged in a pouch inside my cloak so that it looks like my paunch. Then off we went to the La Cigale and had dinner. We ordered and finished off whatever......in our plates in no time. But she was still hungry and wanted the waitress for dinner! I persuaded her to stop and promised her to give two fat lambs next week. Then I took her back to Umm Salal where she said she will surrender to the Lekhweia guys. She didn't want me to drop her near her villa gates so that there is no trouble for me. So I dropped her in an open field with her kids...said goodbye to her and went off! After that I don't know.
True that.. However these so called daring folk should go look up the history of many "exotic pet lovers" and how many times the pets proved deadly to the owners themselves! fact is these animals of prey can never be domesticated..period!
the animal was huge :) and my friend said it was going after ppl on the streets probably workers...but in that area there isnt much workers...when they found the animal it was hidding :) these ppl here they have lots of wild animals as pets...tigers lions cheetas snakes monkeys...and many other
Some people have too much money and too little sense to know how to live responsibly. I was so angry when I found out my wife had to be escorted to her car because a tiger had been seen roaming on the street where she was. I don't find this a happy ending at all until all the idiots with cheetahs, lions and tigers are forced top get rid of their wild animals and I don't see that happening as long as there is such a thing as wasta in this country. :(
well said, it annoys me that ministry of Environment is not taking any action to stop this madness by some ignorant individuals. Khrtiyat area is in mayhem since this afternoon with ISF & civil defense trucks roaming the area.
Izghawa and it seems that some idiot was keeping them for pets and they got loose. I hope the authorities will put a stop to this "exotic animal" trade in Qatar.
the tiger was a house pet...this happend in khrtiyat its behind landmark...maybe it escaped or the owner wanted to get rid of him and just let him go :)i was told today in my club like that
I dont think they will be so harmful like the wild animals, as they are kept in their houeses and properly trained in dealing with the humans. Anyway animal is animal and you cannot believe him, better to keep prcaution.
just called up one of my friends..turns out she already knew from someone else. So Alhamdullilah the news seems to have traveled. Audubillah...God protect everyone out there.. Aameen! that's like an area where kids freely play outdoors too!
People here do have their own private zoos so this could very well be true. Haven't you all seen the Cheetah the guy parades around town like his dog??? So sad.
I have many friends living close by there in villas..its too late now to be calling them too. Just hope they are caught asap..this is frightening.. Thanks for the info nomerci..hope my friends log in to QL tonight!
Thanks for the news nomerci, I doubt it would be reported. Hubby works in Umm Salal area, hence concerned. Hope she is caught safely without any danger to human life.
drmana, no i have no link, it was told to me by someone who lives there. The police is said to be looking for the animals. They apparently escaped from a private residence.
It seems to have happend very recently, maybe it will be in the newspapers tomorrow....IF it is going to be published.

The wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is there's one in Doha on the run .......
ohh jack, r u tht much ugly??
Once I was face to face with a leopard.... about 4 feet away in the open... the leopard got scared and ran away!!!
when the Tiger is caught, they should make her starve for a week in a cage and later the Tiger owner should be let in tat Cage....:(
ok then...Smoke u know were to proceed...lol
How would me doing such a brave thing be a favor to you? Besides i'm not going to go hunting for something i dont believe is there...pretty much like you go hunting with a comb for hair you dont have :D
Rizks, the animal is in Education city now....maybe on it's way to LuLU....
Smoke can u do us a Favor !
Leave ur office RIGHT NOW and go to Umsalal and search for the Tiger.
Make sure u take some cheese along with you as a bait to catch the Tiger....:)
OH well sooner or later we'll know what the truth is if ever we do.
is it a Tiger or Tigress ?
smoke. simple, a tiger as a pet, due to the Cites agreement Qatar has signed, is not quite in the realms of legality. An alien, well, what to do if one of those falls from the sky.....yanni ;)
at least tat Pea size Alien was Harmless....:(
In a place where the freaking newspapers publish stuff like alien found on the corniche, whats a tiger running on the lose going to make any difference hmmm?
or they might have received a threat from the Tiger
might be no translators around ? :(
it was actually published in the arabic newspapers so they are not censoring it. I dont know why none of the english newspapers reported on this.
saeedkhan did your sister really saw the Tiger or she heard frm someone ?
Smoke: do you honestly think a government that has signed on to the CITES treaty forbidding the importing of animals like tigers will admit some allowing someone to own one?
No. they will censor the media.
If this is True, then they should have published and Announced to all the PUBLIC coz it would not only be danger for the people stayn in tat area but also to the people visitng tat area...right ? :(
yes lets not forget the tiger along with her two cubs, one of which is caught meaning the silly tiger left its cubs to wander around unsupervised...:P
No smoke, it is not a rumour. Education City has been closed all morning, people in the area were advised to stay indoors. apparently the animal has been "secured in a space"......
And who do you think will officially confirm this?lol
tiger warn all press people not to publish this news..tiger is dangerous man u know rizks.all press people might have scare of warning.
The breaking news will be up when the Tiger fills his tummy...:(
I hope he is saving lots of money with out riding into Karwa taxi...He is going allplaces at his own four foots...Hats off to the tiger..

So any one reported of missing Cats and Dogs from the same place ?
Other threads about this are being deleted, the OP here has not provided any credible source for the "breaking news" Everyone's saying something different....so its as good as a rumor si?
It could survive at least a week without eating. But, there are lots of rats, pigeons, cats and dogs to eat around town.
Smoke, the tiger is our for 2 days, and still the news is not published or announched to Public..might be still stuck in the Printing machines...:( Duh !
This whole thread should be deleted...there's no evidence to support the claim, some saying its caught, a friend of mine working in QF says there are still helicopters roaming the area searching for it. Lets post something when it actually comes out on some official news media.
but how did the Tiger manage to live for 2 consecutive days without eating anything ? :(
Wow! So the tiger managed to roam around the city for 2 whole days without being captured. Hope there was no harm done to any humanlife.
I work in Education City, and Qatar Foundation sent out a text that a tiger was in Education City this morning around 9:00am. People were advised to stay indoors. At 9:30am, a follow-up text was sent that the tiger was captured. It must have been the same 'escaped tiger'.

Damn! how could i miss this one?? Is it a real news and not hoax?? I am scared and let me inform my husband too..
So has it been caught or not caught? Its confusing.

he has a cheetah for a pet. No laws, and if there are, loosely applied, or not at all. Heard yesterday that the police shot the tiger. Poor animal. :(
i just hope that someone is the keeper himself!
yea right i agree
stupid tiger
I wish it had killed someone and then maybe the government would take action against these idiots who keep wild animals as pets.
yes it is ukeng, going to shamal or al khor
giant beast
Um salal is'ntthat up the Old North Road out of town some where?
Probably searching for tigress. lol
Absolutely shocking, glad no-one was hurt.
I will unleash my cubs as a precautionary measure :)
not surprising somebody keeps a tiger in his residence.. some people are insane.

If you're the king of the swingers, they'll love you here ;-)

Oh Jungle book comes to mind, i wanna walk like you wanna talk like you, do do do, and yes its true i wanna be like you, do do, walk like you, oh yea exfator here we go...
OK kitty then give us the chapters and the ape logise too!
Qatar Animal Welfare Society (QAWS) is extremely sad to hear of the "pet" tiger that escaped in the Kharaitiyat area and was shot by the police. Can anyone confirm this story?
Roar-ly? Was the tail too short? I do a-purr-logise.
Your tiger tail is too short! My tigress has a long tail too, not a short one like a pig. It should be a long and winding tale.
I was just in Chilis and the Tiger came in!
Waitress said 'sorry Maam, we don't serve Tigers'.
Tiger said 'You're Lion'
Waitress said 'No, we wouldn't Cheetyah'
We will never go to Chilis! They are too cheesy and it's for the cheeters!
Ok, tell me how to mend it...and I will. I have super glue!
consider me heartbroken...
I didn't because I already have a beautiful GF with a very expensive fur coat.
edifis, when did you ask me out on a date? :S
I asked the tigress out for a date. I sent her a private message! We selected the back of an abandoned villa in UmmSalal as our secret rendezvous. There I disguised her as a Qatari lady.

Ah good !
it has been caught around 7.30pm by lekhwia special forces :)
thank you....I so hope there is a happy ending x
be domesticated. Idiots here think it is cool to have them and they are too stupid to consider the risks.
Mr Saeedkan, I live in Ain Khalid and i have pets, what pets I have I am unable to give details to you. I so hope the tiger and her pups are saved :)
Izghawa and it seems that some idiot was keeping them for pets and they got loose. I hope the authorities will put a stop to this "exotic animal" trade in Qatar.
I think Its visa may expaired
I would like if someone could confirm if the tiger is still free. I have 2 pets. Thank you
the tiger was a house pet...this happend in khrtiyat its behind landmark...maybe it escaped or the owner wanted to get rid of him and just let him go :)i was told today in my club like that
