Didorosi posts that he was “called by someone hired by the crew to help get him back to his crate”, and adds: “I don’t support loose insane animals in our city”.
This picture, posted Monday afternoon on Facebook by Detroit Bus Company president Andy Didorosi, is real.
“I don’t know much about tiger logistics, but we were told to be this huge blue tarp monster with the weed whacker and try to be scary and make loud noises”, Didorosi said.
The tiger was brought there for a photo shoot, but was not cleared to be at the Packard Plant by the facility’s owner. We do not condone animals being on the site here, and the shoot was canceled. But not before the tiger was able to evade its human captors. “This is nothing we signed on for”. And she’s not refunding the site rental fee, either.
But overall Didorosi wasn’t impressed with the photoshoot.

Yarrow, whose website describes him as a conservationist, often features wildlife, including tigers, in his work. “People think it’s OK to bring super risky animals into the city without alerting the authorities because they think people don’t care, because they think it’s a cesspool and that they can do whatever [they] want”, he told the Free Press. Nikon describes their ambassadors as “some of the most talented visual artists in the business today”. Yarrow did not respond to a request from ABC News for comment.
