NO! No no no. Wrong.
A tiger escapes from a Zoo, kills a few visitors so they shoot it dead. I'm sorry zoo people and dead visitors, but no, if you manage a zoo or visit a zoo then I feel you ought to accept the inherent risks that maybe just maybe one or two of the animals may escape once in a while and maul a few people to death and should that happen, well tough.
You chose to keep the animal, you choose to gawp at it so I don't think you can feel aggrieved if it eats you. You can't shoot it cause you feel it's a danger to the public, it's a fucking wild animal, or course it's a danger to the public. The real danger to the public is the f*cking toss piece who left the gate open, or the dude who owns the zoo, they're the one who ought to be shot, if that's not man slaughter you can call me Rachel.
This poor tiger is not an escaped lifer from a maximum security prison. It's got every right to attack people and rip their throats to pieces and feast on their yummy flesh. It's a wild animal, it doesn't have morals, only an appetite. If you're going to take these chaps out of their natural environment and plonk them in a cage forever so they don't become extinct, you can't then shoot the poor things when staff negligence allows one of them to escape and it starts feasting on what it sees as proper food for a change.
How is this helping to preserve the species? You airlift it out of the jungle in India where it was quite happy feasting on Hindu's and lounging about in trees, all because you're worried a poacher might shoot it, and then you shoot it, just cause it got sick of fat kids throwing ice lollies at it and ate a few of them. Bullshit.
It's this kind of thing that stopped me feeling any kind of sympathy for that Steve Irwin twat. Crocodiles, tigers, snakes, just leave the bloody things alone.
When will people learn. It's not up to us to preserve animals. Let Mummy nature take care of all that stuff. If we must study animals, then let's either do it in their natural habitat, or not at all. And if they happen to get a bit miffed and eat us, tough. That's what I always say.
