This is crazy, you figured the zoo would make sure theres no way this could happen.

Its sad that a 17 year old got killed and 2 others got injured, youd figure the zoo would be on top if something like this were to happen.

Do you think the zoo was negligent on this or was it just a freak accident?

geez. i heard on the radio that the tiger escaped, but I didn't hear about anyone getting killed.

I'm sad this happened... mostly for the tiger. I was sad that they had to kill her, but given the situation they described, there probably wasn't much of a choice.

Officers yelled at the tiger to stop

I laughed in spite of myself.

He attacked a zookeeper last year, he should have either been let go or euthanized(sp?) after that happened

You cannot just let them go into the wild. They have been enslaved probably since birth and would not survive.

I am glad the zookeeper got attacked. I am glad these people got attacked at well.
If I was put on exhibit in front of a bunch of fat lazy slobs I would try my damndest to escape and murder people as well.

maybe you could just settle with being as annoying as possible so people would pay attention to you

Aww... You are cute.
Nice trying to sound cool and jump on the "we hate das" bandwagon.
My point is still valid.
End.

Re: California teen named as victim of tiger mauling

How is it valid when those people that was attacked had no part in the capture and confinement of the animal?

If the zookeeper wasn't hired there the animal would have still been captured.

If the people hadn't been there to get attacked that wouldn't have stopped the other millions of people coming to see it.

In fact most zoo habitats are more safe for animals then the wild, as it nearly 100% ensures its survival.

I don't work there and thus I have no knowledge of how the tiger might've escaped. I think it's a little early to try and figure this out ourselves.

What if they were fit, hard-working and well-groomed?

Re: California teen named as victim of tiger mauling

The zoo admitted that the tiger would have HAD to leap over the 18 foot wall.

Perhaps it used something tall to help it over?(as I dont think a tiger is capable of a vertical leap of 18 feet)

Im saying do you think the zoo was negligent to not improve the habitat the zoo provided to keep this thing from happening for a second time?

BTW Nixon I find it funny you named that pic "Duh"

Re: California teen named as victim of tiger mauling

Who cares for safe? A prison is "safe", would you want to be there? A prison where people come and ogle at you every day and you have just about nothing?

Re: California teen named as victim of tiger mauling

So are you saying taking endangered animals captive to ensure the survival of the species is wrong?

Let's all hope you never get cast on a reality show then.
