Jesus. What a way to go.

damn your sitting there enjoying a latte and next your dead.

I can say this easily: A tiger's life is more important than a man's.

Have you ever been to the SF Zoo? I would have an attitude too.

I will say that the Lion House there was pretty damn cool around feeding time. Otherwise, they pretty much hid in the back.

seriously!

The tigers aren't meant to be caged up..they are pissed

Poor Tiger, and it sucks were not person too.

that is great news to my ears, tigers shouldnt be in cages as for most animals

they deserve to do what they do in their natural habitat, kill, eat, etc, we (humans) are the ones that put him there in that situation, that zoo should be sued to fuck for that incident

"Apparently right around closing time -- there was a pen with four tigers in it -- one of the tigers got out," Talmadge said. "The tiger went into a cafe at the zoo and attacked a patron. That person ended up dying at the scene."


That is crazy! Can you imagine eating at the zoo and having a Tiger stroll through the door?

Look at the size relation between humans and the Siberian Tiger:

It said the zoo also has Sumatra Tigers, so maybe they were greeted by this at their table:

Good. You shouldn't lock up animals for amusement.

What a way to go

what a sad situation from all angles. :(

What bother me about that zoo, is the small line about the person that died. they just glazed over that.

I have zero sympathy for the tiger victims at the SF zoo.

First of all, it's Christmas. Don't go to a fucking zoo. I don't care if you're not Christian, this is America, so suck it. Note that the zoo will be closed tomorrow "out of respect for the victims," but somehow can't have enough respect to be open for Christmas.

Second, the attack happened 20 minutes after the zoo closed. Two of the victims were in the cafe when they got mauled. These are the kind of assholes who don't leave at closing time - they linger on, probably "getting their money's worth" or something, making life difficult for the zoo personnel. In other words, assholes. Fuck em, I hope the tiger had fun mauling the shit out of them.

You're a fucking retard.

Has anyone else found it strange they are claiming the tiger jumped across the moat and over the wall.
