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...

A terrible shame, Tigers are rare enough creatures and any needless death of one (or of any living creature really) is something to be mourned.

the fence being only 3/4 of the height it was meant to be is what is being blamed. I think that the Zoo's defence of "but it passed inspection ok" was a bit lame, then I tend to be of the opinion that people should put their hands up to mistakes.
