What's at work here is a judgment by humans that the tiger was not at fault ~ rather, the keeper made a mistake and precipitated the event.

That particular judgment is totally devoid of what the event meant to the cat and how it affected her.

Now we know that she discovered that the humans come apart just like a joint of goat, and we see where that route takes her!

I must not be as smart as you because I read your post three times and it still makes no sense to me. What exactly does this mean, "That particular judgment is totally devoid of what the event meant to the cat and how it affected her."

The tiger is simply following it's nature. It is a hunter. It sees a food source and eats it. It doesn't get much more complicated than that. When you throw humans into the mix, that's when the tiger gets the shaft. These animals kill the young of a pride when they enter it so theirs will be the only traits to be passed on. Instinct. If humans were involved, they would have to attend a sensitivity seminar to understand how the cubs feel when their necks are snapped.
