The situation was horrible, but we should not blame the tiger. Tigers are not pets. They are carnivores and should be treated with respect they deserve. In addition, the tiger probably wasn't very happy living in the zoo. How would you feel if someone puts you in a cage for public display?

that's true, I was gng to say the same thing but I heard that they were trying to breed it to increase the pop.

There was blood and a shoe found near the fence leading to the speculation that perhaps the victim dangled his legs over the edge allowing the tiger to pull itself over.

No

even if the tiger was provoked and it was a female still it must have been gruesome. not that any method of dying is better than the other it's just that I would be shook if a tiger came at me and I am a bb.

they are gng to sue the zoo of course but I really believe that they shouldn't get a penny if the kid dangled his legs in the cage or caused the tiger to get out. It must have cost fortune to feed the animal...

You lock up a carnivore in a cage, put it in a show to amuse some people and when it bites the handler, you put it down?!?

BTW those were the circumstances of the first attack, apparently.

I for one, agree with your point of view.

Latest news: Wall too Low ??

[Slke46]

Sounds a little fishy... how does a tiger jump over a 20-30' moet to reach over a 12.5 wall? RIP to the kid...

The moat was part of the tiger's enclosure. It just needed to jump the 12.5' wall.

Although its better than nothing, no amount of money can bring the poor kid back. Saw it in the news, the mom said that Christmas for her was ruined for ever. So sad.

Based on your comment- if you had to make a choice to save a bunny or a child you'd be OK in saving the bunny? Also, I assume you are a vegetarian?

On things for sure, you're not the brightest cookie here.

[mpimping]

now they are saying that the victims were ignored by the staff at the zoo.

[MadDog]

^^^^ That's what Mark Geragos is saying. I wouldn't trust any lawyer as far as I could throw them.

[UncleWede]

Yeah, right, the park officials ignored screams and crying near the tiger cage for 30+ minutes. . .

I understand what you're saying. But I wasnt suggesting that they should have put the tiger down last year. I was just stating what I've heard.

[BLUE LABEL]

news is that tiger was provoked/mistreated as they found rocks and sticks by his habitat ( before some bright dumb fck points out arent those things usually found in a zoo anyway - NO, the handlers did not note those objects in the area that morning when they were with the animal)
OH yeah, also to note- they found a bottle of vodka in the car of the teenagers involved in this mess.
Dont get me wrong, my prayers are with the family of those involved but there are some really really really dumb kids out there these days. Some mistake dogs for footballs others tigers for little kittens. A semi domesticated animal just doesnt leap out and go after someone because he/she feels like " its a good day to hunt a human" I think thats more our nature where we go out to kill for sport rather than sustenance.
Personally I dont think they should have killed the tiger..just sedate the creature. I guess they wanted to justify one death with another - sounds like a human thing to do.

[gadget]

whether or not the tiger was taunted is irrelevant. The enclosure should prevent the tiger form escaping no matter what- period.

At least I'm not the cookie forming an opinion based on what other cookies told me should be my opinion.

Actually I believe it was worse, the handler had a hunk of meat in their hand and decided to put it close enough to the cage so that the tiger could bite it. How retarded can you be?

The blonde is pretty hot. If those kids taunted that tiger and the family gets any money it will anger me greatly.

This is making me very angry. They should punish the parents for having kids. WTF? The kids went to the zoo on Christmas to harass animals? The last time I went to the zoo was in elementary school. Wtf? They are lucky more people didn't get hurt...
