Netizens have a field day as UK armed police find out the truth about a tiger on the prowl

In a recent incident, armed police stationed in the UK countryside to search for a dangerous tiger on the prowl were stunned when they found the big cat was a life-like statue. According to a recent report, the police deployed armed personnel and a helicopter to locate a tiger on the loose in Kent, United Kingdom, after someone told the police that a tiger was wandering through the countryside. But as they went near it, it turned out to be a 20-year-old sculpture.

It was also reported that, about 20 years ago, an 85-year-old woman named Juliet Simpson developed the lifesize piece from chicken wire and resin. Worried residents had alerted authorities they'd seen a big cat wandering around Ightham's small village. Juliet, who laughed off the situation after her lifelike tiger was 'introduced' by police, was first alerted by her son. Her granddaughter also took to her Twitter handle to share pics of the same.
