The tiger must have slashed a femoral artery or something?
Don’t know what it will take for people to stop treating these wild animals like housecats. :*(

He was frightened and he felt faint and he tried to say an act of contrition and he remembered how it started but before he had said, as fast as he could, “Oh, my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee who art worthy of all my love and I firmly resolve ... ,” he felt too faint and he was lying face down on the floor and it was over very quickly. A severed femoral artery empties itself faster than you can believe.

These animals are 500-700 lbs, immensely powerful, with 2” long claws and 1-1.5” teeth and are super-predators, the very top of the food chain. One swat of their massive paws or a bite from their powerful jaws can tear a human to shreds easily. Their instincts are to dominate their domain and to kill for food. Too many people that try to interact with and domesticate these magnificent animals and others like them end up mauled or dead. They are tempting God by putting themselves in harm’s way on purpose.

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.

Well, an answer to that question would be INFORMATION, some thing this article lacks. Good to know the poor woman got to chat with her fiance and that several of their children were present.

Absolutely one of the worst pieces of news writing I can remember reading.

May the poor deceased rest in peace.

Look at the people who refuse to believe that certain breeds of dogs can't be trusted and snap and that they are NOT family dogs....
