Replay Video UP NEXT When Maria Torres and her sister-in-law got an emergency notification on the Nextdoor app Sunday night, they had to do a double-take.

We got in the car and went to check it out, Torres told ABC News on Monday. When they reached Ivy Wall Drive in west Houston, they could barely believe their eyes. Torres took out her cell phone and started recording several people confronting a striped Bengal tiger, including an off-duty law enforcement officer backpedaling with his gun aimed at the big cat.

TEXAS (CBSDFW.COM) – The Texas House of Representatives passed a bill Wednesday targeting puppy mills.
HB 1818 would prohibit the sale of commercially-raised dogs and cats in pet stores. This is a major step in encouraging Texans to acquire pets from humane sources, like shelters, rescues and responsible breeders, instead of inhumane puppy mills, which is where most pet store puppies come from.
Rep. Jared Patterson filed the bill and said it would also require pet stores to maintain records as to where the animal was obtained from for at least a year, according to a release from Patterson’s office.
