Very sad,
And I do not think humor needs to be in this thread. A child lost her life.

Not matter how friendly these animals are, they should still be considered wild animals. Was it was the owner's daughter that got killed?
I guess even if the animal is declawed, I think they are still dangerous.

With no claws and no teeth, they can smash you or crush you with their gums. They're very powerful.
I really think that all such "opportunities" should be covered by a ready sharpshooter, by law. There probably ARE some photographs. I hope never to see them. Very sad. CJ |

But the Disney channel assured me that if I was ever lost in the woods benevolent tigers, lions and wolves would look after me if I only showed them genuine respect and cared about their environment.
Obviously this girl didn't care about the environment enough.

WTF, the cat was wild. Its here fault, never go around a wild animal, esp a Tiger. |

What dumbass puts their kid in with a TIGER to have their picture taken?
Sorry the child was killed, but that is the height of stupidity. |

It's a TIGER, not morris the cat. Nuff said. Sad story but if the dude from Siegfried and Roy can get mauled after what, 30 years?, working with them, a kid sure can.

We all can think what we want. At NO point in my life have I ever thought posing by a WILD CARNIVOROUS ANIMAL was a good idea. Not even a remotely good idea. People sometimes forget that 600 pound cat eats MEAT, and to him YOU are food. The handlers/owners/child got a big dose of stupid and someone ended up dead. While I greive for the family, I also chuckle at the morbid humor. |

When you get around big cats, bears, dogs, etc. you become part of the food chain.
You can't forget that. When you do, this shit happens. |

While the exotic animal place better have some good insurance, same thing could have happened with one kick from a donkey at a petting zoo.
Ron Howard's brother Clint never would have been a major film star if he had never been with Gentle Ben. Bad shit happens sometime. |

I agree...they need to insert the word "unsuccessfully" right before (or after if you want) "restrained". |

Unfortunately, the handlers and zoo owners ASSURE people that the animals are tame and safe, when in reality they are not. The average layperson who doesn't know anything about animals simply takes the word of the "expert." I don't blame the parents or people who come to see these great animals, I blame the handlers and others whose hubris allows these incidents to take place. |

We aren't talking about eating puffer fish or the deadly sting of that goofy conch or some other 'hidden' danger; It's a TIGER. You know:  Certainly the handlers need to be held accountable; no question of that. But if you are willingly going near a tiger, well... |

I'm not an expert either, but I can promise you this.... my child will never stand next to BoBo the Grizzly, or Fluffy the African Lion, or Giggles - the worlds friendliest Rhino. Why, cause I wasn't born stupid. I'm sorry the girl died but that was beyond dumb, simply a pathetic level of stupid. You can't tell me that some little voice in a good parents head isn't screaming when your kid is standing next to a damn tiger that kills prey several times your whole families combined weight. |

I don't disagree with you. I wouldn't put my kids (assuming I had them) in the situation. But, you'd be surprised how convincing these experts are. Just watch Dave Letterman when he has the animal guy on sometime. Everybody is quick to call the parents stupid, but you nver really know what else is going on and what the orginal situation was before someone had a bright idea. |

Look we all know that there is a gunshop in every town that has an "expert" running it. You know the guy that was in nam and carried an AK because it could use M16 (223), M14(308) as well as AK(762x39) mags with no modification; he just picked up whatever when he was out of ammo. Lay-people listen to him because he is an expert on guns.
Idiots are everywhere. If Joe-Bob can run a gun store and be considered an expert then his cousin Billy-Bob can run a wildlife refuge and be an expert. Otherwise smart people are still morons. Its a lack of common sense. 99% of the population lacks it. Wild animals are wild. There is a reason in the millions of years man has been around and TIGERS have NOT been domesticated. Ditto grizzlys, panthers, lions, aligators. What is sad is the girl had stupid parents. It wasnt the Tigers fault or her fault but the owners and parents for believing the stupid owners. |

That is true the girl was stupid to go so near the tiger. The parents if they knew and allowed it were stupid. The tiger is a wild animal and is dangerous. However, this is a human being and so even if she did something very stupid we as humans will support her and feel bad for what happened to her. |

Damn.
Now, I have fed tiger cubs before. I have been to a petting zoo with small juvenile tigers. But it would be a cold day in hell before I come anywhere near a Siberian fucking tiger. Aren't they among the largest terrestrial predators on earth, right next to the Kodiak Bear??? non sequitur: speaking of Kodiak Bears, check this shit out:   Looks like he shot that fucker in the face.

Because they can. The same reason the cat killed the girl. We are all animals remember, cat gets stupid, it dies...simple as that. You telling me that if some cat ate your kid, you would stand to see it's fucking face every morning. STFU  You would blow it's head off. With a full power shot

Those pictures where taken after that bear had eaten a hiker. It was a depredation hunt to rid the area of a man eating bear! And it is sad that a young child lost her life.
