Isn't that more a language, rather than a type of person?

777405 2009-05-27 21:16:00 Hey here's an idea.

We should have just let the beast live and let it kill a THIRD man doing his job. Good logic there huh.

777406 2009-05-27 21:27:00 Maybe they should have realised it wasn't suited to the park and just let it loose in the wild. That should cut down on people like Billy the hunted one. the_bogan (9949)

777408 2009-05-27 23:02:00 No way the tiger should have been shot.
There are only about 120 of them left in the world.
It was only doing what is natural for it and us humans are the ones that put it in the cage in the first place.
Why not take it somewhere and put it back in the wild?

777409 2009-05-27 23:31:00 Maybe someone could invent a crushproof suit to wear in the enclosure. Like the cops have for training police dogs but stronger and betterer.
Dont think a safety man with a bang stick would be much use as the attack will come swiftly like a cat launching itself at a poor bird.

777410 2009-05-27 23:45:00 It certainly wasn't intending to eat him.
Cats scratch on occasion. Tigers are rather large and cause rather large scratches, not surprising he died.
That's a reason to shoot it? If the world wasn't overrun with people destroying natural habitat to house and feed themselves there wouldn't be a reason to cage them in the first place.

777411 2009-05-28 00:49:00 I used to work at cleaning out the lions cage and the head keeper gave me this advice. If the lion looks to attack stare it in the eyes and slowly retreat till you feel the cage bars on your back. Then slide down the bars, pick up a handful of ****, throw it in the lion's face and run for the door. I asked what if there was no **** and he said by the time I got there, there would be.

You take a job dealing with predators like Tigers, Lions, Crocs, Piranha, Sharks, Snakes etc you may get what happens to you.

People should take the consquences of their actions or lack of actions as the case may be.

Tigers do not commit murder for example. I agree that there are man eating Tigers but did not we kill them for a rug or coat?

Go off and play with an Anaconda and get a snakeskin wallet.
