Poor Tiger

[edwards]

Today, I am mostly sad that a tiger was shot dead after attacking/mauling some people in a zoo. It seems silly that the animal couldn't be sedated. If i had been mauled by the animal, I'm somewhat worried that I'd be inclined to try and take the bullet for it :(

Tigers. They kill people. Big surprise. I can't help suspecting that three youths aged 19/20 were utterly innocent regarding getting a mauling...

They found it? They didn't say that on the report I saw, just a bit about the enclosure, a past attack on a keeper, the zoo being closed because they were at fault etc. I'm wondering quite how it managed to get out over a 15foot high wall..

15 foot doesn't sound like a lot compared to a tiger... how high up can cats jump relative to their own height?
