They weren't running for their lives; there was no immediate threat. The tiger was occupied with Souza. They ran to the cafeteria 300 yards away, leaving him alone.
How long does it take for a 20-year-old guy to run 300 yards nowadays, anyway? Even these slackers should've been able to do it in a minute. When I was in track and field, I could've done it much faster than that. It was only 20 minutes or so later that they decided to call 911. And they weren't concerned about Souza, whom they knew had been mauled by the tiger, when they did it. Scumbags, pure and simple.
But... who am I to condemn them? We're all PC toasty now and don't dare suggest the gene pool would be better off without their contributions.
So... May these lovelies live long and prosper, and seed the gene pool with ten million descendants exactly like them... Until Americans finally wake up and aren't so afraid to call a spade a spade.
I think I wouldn’t have called the cops at all. The zoo should have people there that can handle these animals. I would’ve been trying to get the zoo people, not the cops. The zoo people are closer.
If there was no immedieate threat, then why were these two injured?
