Forget about ice epidemics and race riots, police in Milwaukee have bigger problems to deal with after reports of a frickin’ lion on the prowl.
Hilariously, the reports have sparked panic among easily spooked gun-totin’ Americans, and one poor pitbull was shot in the paw in a case of mistaken identity.
Because, you know, pitbulls look almost exactly like lions with their huge yellow mane and bone-shaking roar. The poor pooch is expected to make a full recovery.

“It’s ludicrous. It’s not tall and not anywhere near the size of a lion,” said Karen Sparapani, director of the Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission. “We are trying to tell people not to panic.”
A cell phone video clip surfaced hours later showing a blurry image of a large cat-like animal strolling about, heightening fears and speculation.
“It’s not outside the realm of possibility that someone could try to raise a lion in their basement and then get overwhelmed with the care,” Sparapani said before ordering an air strike on the residential area.
