 Tigers are amazing animals. They look graceful strolling across a grassland, yawning and seeming at peace. But let's face it, they are much more exciting when they are ferociously chasing down a lunch victim. If this wasn't the case the Nature Channel wouldn't constantly air shows like Tigers: Predators in the Wild.
These kids in California (AP News) didn't gulp down vodka, smoke a joint and pay $22.50 to see a pussy ass tiger just lounge around. No, they wanted to see fangs, fucking fangs man! It's obvious they didn't expect to turn into the tiger's prey. Had they known that they may have thought ahead and snuck a small housecat in with them and tossed it over and watched the show.
So who's at fault? That's what everybody's talking about instead of more important things. It's obvious the kids are wrong for taunting the tiger and it's apparent the zoo needs a new cage. The parents have a civil lawsuit against the zoo and I don't know what my decision would be as a juror. I think the zoo should pay for the medical bills for the survivors. They should also be responsible for raising awareness of the plight of the tiger. There are less than 6,000 tigers out of captivity these days and it's unfortunate that this tiger had to be killed for being a tiger, just the same as it sucks the one teenager was killed for being a teenager. |
