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...

Completely reasonable assumption; that's what USUALLY happens to make someone get et. A nearby zoo lost a grizzly bear to a cage invasion, and the general opinion was that the police officer shot the wrong critter.

Eeek. I think I'd rather share a cage with a tiger...
