Why kill the Tiger

This bothered me this morning and i'm glad to see i'm not the only.
There are so few of these beautiful animals left and some A-hole thinks its a kitty kat and gets it killed..totally sucks.

That was a tough call, though. The tiger still had his arm in its mouth, according to what I read.

Maybe after the victim gets well they should shoot him, too.

@SooperSarah I completely agree. I also think that's a fairly complex decision process in the heat of an emergency.

Was it a complex decision to not go in and play here kitty kitty?
I'm not blaming the cop.

@Jenna76 No, the guy was entirely at fault, not the tiger.

The first deputy kicked the fence in an attempt to free the man...

What a dumbass! That's almost as stupid as the guy that put his hand in the cage. Ever try to take something from a house cat? They can be scary, and they just try harder to keep their prey. What the hell made him think that kicking the fence would do anything helpful?🤦‍♂️
I hope the guy recovers well, but honestly, stupidity this profound should hurt... I mean, it's a TIGER!!🐯

I think the zoos where these incidents happen bear a large part of the blame.

They KNOW if there is any access to the general public, somebody will get in. Security should be a higher priority.

I watched the bodycam video of this, earlier today. I wish very much, that the deputy had tried at least one thing other than kicking the fence, before shooting Eko. He was, however, faced with an undeniably foolish human screaming for help because his arm was being mauled.

It is terrible and sad, but this time I'm not sure blaming the police officer is warranted.

@Piper i dont like nitpicking peoples comments but since this is my post i never blamed the police officer and in fact in a subsequent post said he was not to blame.

@Jenna76 Okay. While I know a lot of people are, I didn't assume that you were. I did not see your other post.

I hate how elephants are killed as well just for ivory

Alas, as a society we still value the lives of human beings (even stupid ones) over animals when it’s a matter of life and death. I’m not sure that it could be any other way. A tragedy all around. 😞
