She's only been at the zoo for about 3 years. She has a history as a cub of being "quick tempered". In laymans language, that means "extraordinarily" dangerous.
AS for these criminals, er “victims” they were hostile while in the ambulance and still wouldn’t cooperate with police after their fellow criminal was killed. These kids did something.
ping to my post #85; this same tiger attacked and mauled her trainer one year earlier.
I am trying to envision the zoo that would fit into your safety parameters. Let’s see-
Defanged vipers-(they could actually BITE a zoo worker or something!
Large constrictors-(these shall be displayed in steel pipes with only their head and a 1 foot section of tail visible, for obvious reasons)
Elephants with shortened trunks-( the fact that they now resemble 4 ton pigs with floppy ears does not matter-they could grab a worker or taunting gangbanger with those as easily as a peanut)
Gators and crocs shall have their jaws wrapped in “safety orange” or “chartreuse” tape.- ( can’t be havin’ no gangbanger gumbo in the pond when the drunks hop the fence and fall in)
Bears— ( Little boy to Dad at bear display....gee, Daddy, he looks awfully small and does not move! what’s the tag in his ear for? what does “Stieff” mean, Dad?)
Meerkats-(will be sedated, they’re dangerously energetic)
Great Apes-( Apparently, these are allowed to roam free on grounds and taunt whatever they want-No change in policy)
Tigers-(These will henceforth be displayed in yellow and black warning colors that scream out-I AM A BIG BADASS CAT, IT’S BAD ENOUGH BEING LOCKED UP AND OGLED BY YOU WEAK LITTLE HAIRLESS CHUMPS-IF YOU GIVE ME THE CHANCE I WILL KILL YOU)
wait, they already are....
