Dead tiger bigger victim than dead man?
- Thread starter Turbo
- Start date
It was my understanding that two people were taunting the tiger. The tiger got out and started to attack them and then another person who wasn't involved in the taunting got the tiger off the others by distracting the tiger and then the tiger killed him. I could be wrong though. :idunno: (I didn't read the entire thread yet so maybe this has already been answered)
Either works though. :chuckle:
All I have heard is speculation.
All I have heard is people trying to defend the tiger because they just "can't imagine" the tiger would attack anyone for no reason.
We'll probably never know exactly what happened. But one thing we might be able to know is if the tiger had any history at all of attacks or hostility towards humans. Does anyone know about that?

So the guy got drunk and started shooting sling bullets at a tiger?

While I appreciate the fact that he had the decency to remove himself from the gene pool, I am a bit miffed that he had to put other people and animals in mortal danger.

Yes.
The same tiger ate a zoo-keepers arm off last December (2006).
The same tiger, a 4-year-old female named Tatiana, ripped the flesh off a zookeeper's arm just before Christmas a year ago while the woman was feeding the animal through the bars. A state investigation faulted the zoo, which installed better equipment at the Lion House, where the big cats are kept.

Gee... this Tiger can do no wrong!
Allegedly. I still can find no official accusation of anything like that (only speculation).So the guy got drunk and started shooting sling bullets at a tiger?
No animal can do wrong OR right.
That's why it's called an animal.
From the same source:
"taunting can defintely make an animal more agressive."
So it does have at least one case of attacking. Like I said before, the bottom line is that we probably will never know exactly what happened. And while a tiger biting the arm of someone who is feeding it is far from jumping the fence and attacking people with no provocation are far from the same thing, animals are unpredictable and this particular one has attacked before so we shouldn't jump to put all the blame on the people.
:duh: Hey retard who do you think your talking to?
Nobody is saying that taunting can't provoke an animal. What we are questioning is were these guys really taunting the animal or not? And if so, what were they doing? Did they help the animal out of the cage? If so, they deserve what they got, if not well then that's a different story altogether.
Right now it looks like everyone is really quick to smear the humans and justify the man-eating beast.

The tiger was just doing what God made it to do-- eat the living snot out of everything that moves.
It ate more than just snot, actually, but you get the point... :jazz:
Of course, once it starts eating people... *pulls out high powered rifle*

If we ran an experiment where 100 zookeepers put their arms into a tigers cage while feeding them, I wonder how many of them would be nicknamed 'Stubby' afterwards? :think:
Hey, devout Christian, who do you think you're talking to?
I said it doesn't matter a pitcher's worth of warm spit whether they taunted the animal or not. It's a wild animal.
Did that tiger-trainer in Las Vegas who was attacked onstage taunt his tiger? No. But it was a wild animal.
Believe me, there was a good reason why the tiger attacked those people and killed one of them.
Realizing this fact, feeling sorry for the tiger or saying the people got what they deserved does not mean that animals are more important than people or that people have no rights. You just enjoy impersonating the oppressed.
A "retard"? You called me a "retard." That's hurtful. I'm gonna tell the moderators.
Whatever happened to One-Eyed Jack? He's the one who used to answer posts like THIS:
You.
I never said that it would not.
Who cares?
They could have been saying "Bad! Bad Tiger! Do NOT attack and kill me!"
If they did they were stupid.
They didn't deserve being mauled and killed by a tiger.
Not necessarily.
No it doesn't.
Some wild animals are really friendly. CUTE VIDEO ALERT!!!!

No. But neither would I say that the tower is obviously the biggest victim (even if it was destroyed), nor would I say that my heart goes out to the electricians who "basically lost a family member." :freak:
I wuz being nice.
