Thanks for the diagnosis doctor.

Apparently I can’t feel pity, but that is not true.

I find your assertions pitiful.

I pity the cat.

And it would only suck to be me if I had to spend much time around you.

Have a nice day.

From what I’ve read elsewhere, she died from a bite. Can’t imagine her shock and pain in her last moments...

The tiger was just being a tiger. You do know of course the baring of one's teeth in the wild can be an act of aggression. Maybe she wasn't holding her mouth quite right and the tiger ended a perceived threat. He can't run away. She knew the risks.

It is nature. The food chain.

I don't pity her. I don't feel bad. Things happen. Deal with it.

If my comment, "No doubt. Show up with all that makeup and that toothy grin? The tiger is probably feeling he is lucky to be alive." seems snarky it isn't.

Agreed.I've seen more death than I care to recall (as mentioned in my earlier post) but that one couldn't have been fun.Like those who fell/jumped from the WTC you'd hope she had a massive heart attack or stroke and was dead long before the tiger was done.

“My odds of being eaten by a tiger are zero.”

That thought never occurred to me until I was walking through a building (not close to the cat area) and passed a longish container on the floor, maybe 18 inches or so square. I looked in the end. There were vertical bars and on the other side of the bars was a tiger. No zoo personnel or label of any kind to be seen.

"She dedicated her life to her mission of protecting tigers."

No good deed goes unpunished. Hint: THEY'RE ANIMALS...it's what they do....no matter how many Disney movies you watch.

Unfortunately she dedicated her body to the nourishment of tigers.

my 12 lb cat could suddenly get angry and bite and kick if held too long. Imagine if he were as huge as a tiger and not domesticated.

I guess I meant save “it” as in save “them”, the species. The article was kinda confusing, it made it seem like she was both doing something routine for a show (mundane) and involved in the breeding process (insanely dangerous). Either way the end was to preserve the species which is a noble thing imo. :)
