'Pet' tiger mauls woman to death

What are people thinking? They're not called 'wild' animals for nothing. After hearing about Roy's (of Siegfried and Roy) mauling by a 'pet' tiger, with all their training and years of experience at 'handling' wild animals, you think there would be fewer 'pet' tigers. It's sad, but not entirely unpredictable, to hear of her mauling death.

From the Siberian Magic's website..........

Looking at that web site, I've never seen such nutty, scary pictures in my life! What were these (liberal?) animal lovers thinking?

a bizarre, freak accident involving a tiger named Gangus.

Not really all that bizarre or freakish, or even an accident for that matter. It was a tiger, after all.

Time once again to trot out the Pet Recognition Chart.

Doggies, kitties, and bunnies on; grizzlies, tigers and mambas off.

How many people have to be killed by their “pets” before people realize that wild animals are ..... wild?”

All of them that have wild animals as pets, but then more dumb a$$es will get some more.

Considering the fact that the website has multiple pics of various women without any info indentifying who the women are in any of the pics, why would you even bother to speculate as to who the victim might be?

Hey, I’ve seen all the Disney movies. The animals can actually talk have have personalities like people.

Just don’t get a Jihadist Tiger.

Just curious... In my hurry, I didn’t notice any other women in that album, and wondered if she were the same person.

"The tigers are being kept in 12-foot square (3.6 metres square) chain-link enclosures with a mere padlock on the enclosure. The animals' owner had admitted to walking the tigers, his kids feed them," she said.

These are extremely powerful predators that patrol territories of many square miles every day in the wild. Take a large, dangerous predator whose nature compels him to roam a large territory, stick him in a 12-foot enclosure certain to stress him to his limits and then try to treat him like he's your pet cat - yeah, that's going to work out.

I'm very much against government interference in the lives of private citizens, but this is one case where government should be involved - unless an individual or a private corporation can show proof that they are capable of keeping such rare wild animals in conditions that aren't destructive to the animals and in which the animals can't harm unsuspecting neighbors, ownership should be banned.

Tanya Dumstrey-Soos spoke with her fiancé Kim Carlton, who owns the farm, by mobile phone as she lay dying.

Lesbian killed by man-eating pussy. The irony...

“The use of exotic animals in entertainment is simply playing with fire,” Moriarty said.”

Yes, you can take the animal out of the jungle, but you can’t take the jungle out of the animal.
