Somehow whilst looking at flood warning on google news today I found a link to this story from America. Terribly sad.

yea especially the tigers, bad juju. how rare are they now?couldnt tranquilize them in the dark? they got guns but they aint got torches. Pretty sure i could find a grumpy 8ft long tiger with a maglite. They all want to be tommy lee jones. still what did the owner expect? i suppose loss in the wild population would be worse than those never destined to breed and resigned to captivity.

 

If i ruled the world they'd still be out there clearing up the massive human overpopulation problem.:sneaky2:

seen this!?!?

On the radio, the reason given was that 'they had tasted human blood'

This story brings to mind a thought that I often have about livestock farmers and the pressure they are often under and crack. Its a big responsibility to look after livestock I would imagine and when times get hard I would imagine it is easy to crack.

Can't blame the police, they are there to protect humans.

The owner is to blame here imo

And Ohio's lax laws on keeping wild animals... he had a previous conviction for animal cruelty.
