Who do you feel worse for? The tiger or the 17 year-old?

I feel bad for the boy's family, and the tiger, but more the tiger. It didn't ask to be placed in a cage for its entire life. Nor did it ask for some "alleged" drunk teenagers to taunt it.

 

My apologies.

But, do we know for a fact that the kids were taunting the cat?

Last thing I heard was that the tiger may have escaped on its own.

 

If you were a tiger, would your first human meal be boozy teenagers if they hadn't taunted you?

 

That the tiger is winning 8-3 is fucking sickening. Fucking sickening. It's a god damned mutherfucking animal, people. Taunted or not, it killed a boy and deserved to be shot. Just like a dog that bites people, it needed to be shot.

 

There are 350 to 400 Siberian Tigers still roaming wild in the Amur region of the Soviet Union; according to the wildlife calendar I received for Christmas, that's it.

So my comment would be, I feel it's a rotten loss both ways. I'd rather it didn't happen. Maybe, on some scoreboard somewhere, the tiger is the greater loss because it didn't have the rational ability to choose. Depending on what actually happened.

But if the world could have one of 'em back, I'd take the kid. In a heartbeat.

Zoos, don't let it happen again.

 

Doesn't matter to me that it's nearly extinct.

 

Of course you go after the boozing teenager. It's like having a glass of wine or a cocktail with dinner.

 

I'm going to be very restrained and not say what I want to say to you, 3_bags.

 

I am often annoyed by teenagers, never by tigers.

I shall vote accordingly.

 

Feel free to say what you want. Doesn't bother me, Doc.

 

I have a feeling what I want to say would bother you. So I'll pass. Have a nice day.

 

Have it your way, bud.
