Tiger escaped enclosure at San Francisco Zoo

You're all idiots. No one deserves to die because they were teasing some tiger. And no tigers don't just kill every human they come in contact with. They get fed every day in close contact with people. The reason you're not supposed to antagonize animals at the zoo is not because they'll kill you, but because the zookeepers don't want the animals even more upset at their state in captivity.

 

Presumably I could kill any of you...am I justified in doing it because you antagonized me? No. Would I get death for it? Yeah. Did the tiger? Yeah. Justice? Who gives a f*ck, it was a liability, morons.

 

 

No one deserves DEATH for messing with an animal they thought was completely restrained. Tree huggin hippy animal rights pussies icon13.gif

And even if they some how got it alive, they'd most likely kill it. Since it killed a person it's considered unsafe, so chances are it'll be dead anyways.

You mean unlike normal tigers who cuddle up with people and make awesome pets... All tigers are unsafe for humans you dumbass, but you don't go around killing them off for that.

 

 

The tiger lost any rights to live it had, when it killed somebody. And i use the term "rights" loosely here. Humans have rights - not animals, and least of all caged animals.

So let me get this straight. The tiger lost all its rights to live because it was locked up in captivity and broke out of the crap security system and attacked people who were intentionally antagonizing it? What did you think was going to happen if the tiger got out? It's an animal built for hunting and killing, and if it happened to get out of what was keeping it away from people, it was the people in charge of its security who were at fault. The tiger only followed its instincts.

 

 

Define irony. A 2007 member calling someone else intellectually challenged. lol.gif

Wait wait wait... Are you actually bragging that you've spent 2 more years than him rotting away at this forum, and that time spent on this forum of all places makes you intellectual? Hahahah... You are a f*cking idiot.

Why does everyone after me, except for a few, have to reiterate what I already said?

 

Anyway, I want a lion. A pet lion. How cool would that be? Yeah, it would f*cking rock. I wonder are they illegal to keep as pets? What if they are de clawed? Mmm, I want one.

I'm sure you could break into the lion mans house.

Sort of sucks what happened to the kid and all but you have to admit the mother f*cker had it coming. I would be laughing my ass off if this happened to Sigfried and Roy(though it sort of did).

One escape does not mean the entire system is crap. If there was a history of this, i would concur, but as far as i know there isn't.

 

and attacked people who were intentionally antagonizing it? What did you think was going to happen if the tiger got out? It's an animal built for hunting and killing, and if it happened to get out of what was keeping it away from people, it was the people in charge of its security who were at fault. The tiger only followed its instincts.

The emboldened text is why the tiger had to go. As long as it was alive, it was a potential threat to human safety. And i'm not absolving the humans of responsibility, clearly someone screwed up big time, and will have to deal with that. But fault or no, when there's a wild carnivore walking the streets of a major city, who has already killed one person, you put a bullet or 50 in it. I might have agreed on a tranq if it had simply gotten loose and not hurt anyone, but that is not the case.

So imagine you're a cop who gets called there. You're searching the zoo to find the tiger when you find it mauling two guys. You have two choices:

 

1) Kill it.

2) Leave to go get a tranquilizer gun, while more people are mauled/killed.

 

If they had time to get a tranquilizer gun, they would have.

I dunno who made up this sh*t about a kid taunting the tiger, but everything I read says the tiger jumped the fence and wandered over to the cafe and killed one kid and mauled two other kids who were in the middle of a meal. Shut the f*ck up about the kid had it coming. Now.

people still don't know about this? It's only been up on every news site for the last 2 days now. tounge.gif

 

From what I read, I think the guys were probably taunting the tiger, in which case the tiger made sweet justice out of their stupid actions. Sucks one of them died, but you don't f*ck with tigers.

Oh nevermind, it was Toga62 who made it up. Nice.

Well, from what I heard initially, they weren't sure how the incident occurred. Which just leads itself to people assuming someone was taunting the tiger and maybe offering testimony like that.

 

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/28/us/28tiger.html?ref=us

 

 

The director of the San Francisco Zoo, where a Siberian tiger killed a teenager and mauled two men on Tuesday, said Thursday that the concrete wall surrounding the area where the animal had been held was 12 feet 5 inches tall, nearly 4 feet shorter than the recommended national standard.

Skip to next paragraph

Multimedia

A Tiger’s Enclosure

 

The Association of Zoos and Aquariums, a professional zoological organization that establishes “acceptable standards†for animal facilities, recommends that the fortress around a tiger exhibit be 16 feet 4 inches tall.

...

 

 

Just to quote one source.

 

Even if the guys were taunting the tiger, the zoo seems to have f*cked up building a wall that short. Honestly though, who can say that they've never slightly taunted an animal at a zoo?
