Police shoot and kill critically endangered tiger to free Florida man who stuck his arm in cage

Why, oh why, would the idiot stick his arm in the cage to begin with? He also entered a restricted area. Sorry, I'm sympathetic towards the tiger; what a shame.

Police shoot and kill critically endangered tiger to free Florida man who stuck his arm in cage

Florida police say they were forced to shoot and kill a critically endangered tiger at the Naples Zoo after it bit and seriously injured a man who had entered a restricted area and reached into the animal's enclosure.

According to the Collier County Sheriff's Office, the injured man was a member of a third-party cleaning service contracted by the zoo. After the zoo had closed for the day on Wednesday, he entered an unauthorized area near a tiger that was inside its enclosure, police said.

Investigators say the man was either petting or feeding the animal, "both of which are unauthorized and dangerous activities," when he was attacked.

"Initial reports indicate that the tiger grabbed the man’s arm and pulled it into the enclosure after the the man traversed an initial fence barrier and put his arm through the fencing of the tiger enclosure," the sheriff's office said in a Facebook post. ...........

Hey what you stick in a tigers cage belongs to the tiger, they should have disarmed the man and saved the tiger. Stupid should hurt, not kill an innocent tiger.

Cop asked zoo attendant if she had a tranquilizer.  Response was "No."  Zoo attendant could have supplied a pole to push tiger away.  But no such assistance was given.  Cop did the right thing.

And here we all thought catching the one-armed man was difficult.

All one has to do is look for the tiger cage....

Well, my bet is on "feeding", but the fool forgot Tigers eat humans.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
