Nice day for a trip to the zoo

[golde30]

yeah, my GF lives like 6 blocks from the Zoo, she called me like an hour after it happened to tell me about it, crazy.

PS: i have a good friend of the family from India, he says that in India, once a tiger attacks a human and tastes the flesh, the automatically kill it, b/c it is now a man-eater. that tiger at the Zoo has a history of attacking humans, so it was just a matter of time.

Any word on how it got out?

Escape exits......

I heard that story too in the break room at work, apparently one of the guys' shoes and perhaps foot/leg, but at least a lot of blood, was found inside the enclosed area. It's like the tiger grabbed his leg and helped itself to pulling itself out.

i heard on the news today that the three males had scaled the 4' barrier, and over an 18' fence, and were taunting the tiger. the tiger killed one of them, escaped, then stalked down the other 2 and attacked them in the cafe.
i guess last year the same tiger had attacked one of the trainers and tore part of her arm off

obligatory "om nom nom nom"

ahahahaha, nice! They had to reiterate on the evening news that all dangerous animals at the Phoenix Zoo had a safe wall in place around them as well as escape exits(wtf?)so no attendees should fear.

the NY Times headline:

A Tiger Goes on a Rampage: Can It Happen Here?

ZOMG WTF TIGERS

Saw that. Ouch!!! If the guy had sipped a beer in a strip joint, minding his own business, frisked by a honey, he would still be alive.

Some dude is sitting in a zoo cafe, minding his own business. Next thing you know he's being mauled by a tiger. Absolutely nuts. http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/12/25/tig...ack/index.html
