The low IQ is the one who does such a stupid thing, not the one who points out that this is what is likely to happen.

A tiger won’t let go of its prey, and I imagine it would try to pull the man into his “space.”

As such, I’m surprised the tiger didn’t tear the arm clean off

Let the tiger keep the arm. Make it a win-win…

If the officer had a knife, he should have just cut off the dildo’s arm...
Then the moron would remember what stupidity can cost...

A taser would have been a better choice.

Yes. Sadly we humans, especially in the west, are way too protective of “human life” that should not be protected.

It’s one of the reason we’re sliding down the crapper.

This guy was just stupid but not evil. There are many who are stupid and/or evil. Society would be much better off without such “human life”.

Instead we cuddle criminals, druggie, lazy bums... with the obvious results.

The Tyger
Tyger Tyger, burning bright,

In the forests of the night;

What immortal hand or eye,

Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies.

Burnt the fire of thine eyes?

On what wings dare he aspire?

What the hand, dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder, & what art,

Could twist the sinews of thy heart?

And when thy heart began to beat,

What dread hand? & what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain,

In what furnace was thy brain?

What the anvil? what dread grasp,

Dare its deadly terrors clasp!

When the stars threw down their spears

And water’d heaven with their tears:

Did he smile his work to see?

Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

Tyger Tyger burning bright,

In the forests of the night:

What immortal hand or eye,

Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

It’s bad enough to hold the animal captive.......but to kill it for doing what God designed it to do??? Bull Butter......fire everyone responsible!!!!

https://www.wildanimalsanctuary.org/

Currently, there are more than 25,000 Lions, Tigers, Bears, Wolves and other large carnivores living outside of our zoo system in America. These animals can be found in people's back yards, basements, apartments, garages, roadside zoos and other terribly unnatural places. There are no places for them to go other than a Sanctuary like ours where they can be given a new life free from exploitation and abuse.

Great place to visit; bring walking shoes and binoculars.

The tiger was just punishing stupidity. As a reward the tiger should have been allowed to chew off and eat the entire arm, and the man should have left with one arm less than he came in with.

could have shot it with a tranquilizer

Yeah, or why didn't the cop just "wing" the tiger?

Or . . . perhaps the cops didn't want to wait half an hour for the tranquilizers to take effect.

Apparently the zoo failed to inform/train it’s contractors not to stick their arms into the cages of wild animals because they can eat you. I would guess the zoo is hiring some really stupid people as cleaning contractors.

…as a reminder to not do the same with the other arm.

“A human life is worth infinitely more than a tiger’s.”

Is Jeffery Dahmers life worth more?

By all means give the tiger more time to rip the idiot’s arm off.

You mean the darts don't produce instant sleep like in the movies?
