Siberian Tiger! I have heard that when hunting
Siberian tigers...at some point the tiger is
hunting you.

Was it the victim who didn’t shut the cage properly?

Good thing they didn’t call NYPD. Every animal in the zoo would be dead.

Nine bystanders were not wounded by stray bullets in this incident.

Sorry for the keeper, good they whacked the tiger. They should leave it where the other big cats can see it for a while, they’ll get the message.

A zookeeper’s job is not a safe job. Giraffes are very dangerous, as are zebras, hippos, elephants and cervidae. I have been slapped by an elephant's trunk and in no bar fight have I ever been hit so hard. Giraffes can cover a lot of ground fast and head butt you so quick you won't have time to drop the shovel and run. The cats and primates are especially dangerous. Bears look at you like I would look at a nice steak. The touchy feely liberal environmental types get hired by zoos but quit when the reality of their place on the food chain sets in.

The problem with most wild animals is that nobody considers the thousands of years of survival instincts bred into them until they are on top of you biting, kicking or clawing the crap out of you. Nature only has one rule and this is that survivors create the next generation.
