Yes, there was a live tiger on the loose inside the old Packard plant. Cell-phone pictures of a tiger amid the rubble of the decaying Packard plant began flying around Detroit. A photography crew from Great Britain was inside the old plant and had permission to take pictures. But they did not have permission to bring a live tiger. They also brought two wolves and a bobcat. The live Bengal tiger got loose, and hid in a stairwell until he was coaxed out and caged by a professional animal trainer. Since the photography crew did not have permission to bring wild animals inside the plant, they were asked to leave. No one was injured and the animals are ok too.
