Here we go again! The tiger did not eat the hand! and there was no stump! There was however alot of blood loss. The only tiger there that is aggressive is Sumatran. The incident happened because the zookeeper failed the first rule of handling big cats, \”Keep your eyes on the cat at all times!\” The zookeeper forgot the second rule, \”never approach an exotic feline with animal blood on you!\”
Since this happened in San Francisco, I think that the tiger should have thought about the feelings of the trainer and should have reached some kind of consensus with the trainer. Someone needs some sensitivity training out there…
What we need is a good investigation as to why the Tiger was hungry. Someone should be held accountable! Where is PETA and Green Peace when you need them?
As I said, we must understand why that tiger wanted to harm a person. We must ask of ourselves, why must a tiger feel threatened by us to want to attack us. What did we DO TO DISERVE THIS??
Has anyone even thought of the trauma suffered by the witnesses? The Zookeeper\’s arm is gone. Nothing we can do there. But, the trauma of having witnessed such an event should be handled by pouring millions of tax dollars into making sure those who saw such a thing never ever have to deal with it in the future. Send in the Grievance Counselors now!!!!
Flesh Eating Tiger Syndrome will be the next item on the Agenda of the new Congress.
Why was the tiger hungry. Hmmm. He wasn\’t fed since the day before. Every thing gets hungry. They are fed plenty. If the person thinks they are starved and thats why it attacked the keeper to eat is mistaken.
It is clearly all George Bush\’s fault, he should have known that this could happen and should have sent federal troops into to secure the Zoo and prevent this mauling, where is the intelligence report on this? All that we need now is for Cindy Sheahan to come back from Cuba and march against hungry tigers
This is not a mauling per se. Once again, the media has sensationalized a tragic event. Cleraly one of two things happened. Either the employee violated safety procedures or the safety procedures were inadequate. I suspect the first.
The tiger did not viciously attack someone. It ate its food and the hand got in the way. Meat it meat to a tiger.
Its sad it\’s tragic. It needs to be investigated to prevent any further problems but clearly the tiger is not at fault and should suffer no ill consequences. I feel for the victim. But the tiger should not be harmed or painted as a vicious creature. Peolple underestimate their power. I have had my fingers nipped accidently when my dogs have gotten over zealous about a treat..my error not theirs. When this happens with a tiger it\’s a hand/arm not just a nip. If the tiger wanted to attack, the person would not be alive.
My heart goes out to the victim. I look forward to the investigation to prevent any future risk of injury such as this.
Nah, it was not my falt (did i spell that corectlee?)
Me & Cheney was busy shootin thangs in the oval room. Never did here no tigger (did i spell that rite?).

Bulldogg, you\’re bad. Also saw your comment on Louisiana slipping into Gulf of Mexico. Do me a favor and send me a life vest.
The problem is the repressed life style of San Francisco caused by the current administration and the war in Viet Nam.

Oops, I forgot, the trainer lost his arm.

Man, it\’s painful trying to imitate a lib…

The problem was that the injured worker had neglected to be included on the government\’s \”Do Not Maul\” list
