I live in british columbia canada and not far from where I live someone owned a tiger ( a rare one too!)in the completly wrong habitat. one day a woman wanted to see her friends pet tiger. she brought her husband and her 3 kids. the door for the tigers pen was not locked and the tiger escaped and killed the woman. the police came in and had to put the tiger to sleep for good... who would bring a tiger all the way from asia just to have a rare wild animal kill someone who is loved greatly and get the tiger killed itself? the thing is that you really shouldnt take a rare animal out of the wild unless you plan on PROTECTING it! so what do you think about the story? (its a true story)

Wow. What an idiot. How could you not lock a tiger cage?

Anyway, the part that infuriates me about it is that the tiger was put to sleep. It’s a WILD animal! Any wild animal will attack a human crossing its territory! Why not go out and kill every tiger so that doesn’t ever happen?! Jeeze.

The tiger should have been moved to a wildlife center/rescue where it could be in a SECURE enclosure and well cared for. What a waste!! Just so the family could feel revenge or something?

What about the kids that were harrassing the tiger in CA last year, and the tiger was killed? It is ALWAYS the keepers fault when someone gets hurt. It’s a waste-that animal was very rare and there’s one less now because of that woman. I guess the only good thing is that the woman "learned her lesson" haha!

well it turns out that the tiger was playing with the womans skirt and its claw hit one of her veins and she bled to death so the tiger was actually completly innocent and didnt even mean to kill her:(

just to inform im pretty sure the reason they would kill the tiger is the belief that once a top predator such as a tiger kills a human it might do it again because it has seen it can im not sayin i agree with that but im pretty sure thats how it works legally, IMO the ppl who left the cage open should be put to sleep they re the ones who made the mistake but im pretty much against most ppl who try to own/tame tiger since i found out the truth about white tigers and the zoo scandal convincing people that there is a breed of siberian white tiger in the wild which is total bs

why not kill killers? they kill people. why put them to jail just to have them released and kill more people?

the thing that disgusts me is that people are okay with taking a wild animal that under no circumstance will ever be tame to be a mistreated pet. it’s only okay when they’re taken to put in zoos and used for breeding and conservation efferts. the people who owned the tiger should have been put in jail and the tiger should have gone to a big cat sanctuary or something.
