It’s my understanding the tiger was killed because it started advancing on officers.

I love animals, but if that cat were coming at me after killing one and mauling 2 others, kitty’s gonna get shot.

Are you familiar with the Steve Sipek (Tarzan) and his tiger in south florida a couple years ago? The media stated that the tiger charged at that wimpy officer who had shot/killed Bobo. When all was said and done, the cat never did charged. It was lying down, facing away from the officer and it turned it's head towards officer and growled at him---where upon officer shot and killed it. Totally unnecessary. The officer was young and inexperienced and freaked.
I'll wait till all is settled and done before I feel it was justified or not since I do not trust the media....or most people.

Even if it hadn’t advanced, once it kills a human, an animal should be put down.
