You know, if I want to avoid dangerous encounters, I don't go seeking them out - and I don't expect the government or the zoo or the company to protect me from the dangers if I do seek them out.

I might agree with you if the guy jumped into the cage with the tiger, but the tiger jumped out of the cage. Now he is a danger to a lot of people, not just the guy who "taunted" the tiger.

How do you even know if a tiger is "taunted"? I know that flashing a red cape into a bull's face ticks them off, but not sure what some drunken idiot would do to tick off a tiger.

Maybe the tiger just wanted something a little different to eat that day and thought the prey was close enough to snatch.

"How do you even know if a tiger is "taunted"?

Because one of the Dilly boys said so.

"Maybe the tiger just wanted something a little different to eat that day and thought the prey was close enough to snatch."

Tiger was fed 3 hours before the incident and had undigested food in her stomach.

"But Singer said that finding a sign with blood on it -- inside the exhibit -- on the night of the mauling "would suggest that one or more of the young men was on that side of the railing.""

So start agreeing with me already.

I also want to hear more about the business of the tiger's damaged claws (damaged while climbing up the concrete barrier to get at her tormenters).

Cats don't like to hurt themselves like that.
