I hadn’t seen your theory and had posted as if I had figured this out. I use to own cats and only figured that the “method” was a device to allow the cat out that was no longer at the scene...it can only logically be the mauled body. It was danggled in, the cat used it as a scratching post, scratched up and out with several people trying tp pull screaming person out and what we ended up with angry free tiger in mouth of free tiger and 2 bloody people running for the cafe (scent) and the origanal pull toy was left dead at the exhibit.
Great theory. It sounds like something the Mafia would do to someone who is in arrears on a drug debt.
No worries, I think a lot of people, to include the authorities, now are starting to think the same thing. That tiger probably used that dangling kid the same way my old cat used to use the drapes when he wanted to try and get the birds outside the window. p>
