yeah, I mean I love animals and everything too, but a person died as well. His name was Carlos Sousa Jr.
"Sources close to the investigation told the San Francisco Chronicle that police are probing whether one of the Siberian tiger's three victims climbed over a fence Christmas Day and then dangled a leg or other body part over the moat.
A shoe and blood were found between the fence and the moat, the Chronicle reported, and a footprint has been found on a metal fence at the zoo. The investigation is looking into the possibility that the tiger escaped by latching on to a leg or other body part, the paper reported.
"Somebody created a situation that really agitated [the tiger] and and gave her some method to break her out," zoo director Manuel Mollinedo told the Chronicle. "A couple of feet dangling over the edge could possibly have done it.""

I mean, I'm not so cold hearted to not feel bad for the dead person and the injured, but still, Tiger Rampages... kinda awesome.
and for all those starting to post about Michael Vick. Michael Vick can eat a d*ck. Dude got off easy if you ask me.
you can't blame a tiger...at all. its a tiger. blame the zoo.
btw, the police called off the zookeepers who were ready to use stun guns on the tiger, which would have worked, so they could kill it. do tigers deserve due process?
IF the dude was taunting the tiger, WAS dangling his leg over the ledge. IF HE DID DO these things, then perhaps it is a good thing the young man was eliminated from the gene pool...stupid...Im thinkin' nature was thinin' the heard on this one
I am so fuckin' tired of folks and their opinions of "vick didnt kill a human, it isnt a big deal, people like animals more than people" as if his TORTUING of animals isnt a big deal because they are 'just" animals...animals with a unconditional love for humans, animals that help the blind, the ill...ANYONE that makes a Vick gramelin symbolizing "people count more than animals" is a dipshit, plain and simple...Vick is a scumbag...and this Carlos dude, if he did do what that they say he did, is a HUGE dumbass, plain and simple...
Tatiana didn't get him.....Darwin got him.
Sad that a human life was lost, but that's fu**ing stupid
You have to bear in mind that the tiger has already mauled a keeper the previous year and that probably accounts for the police not wanting to sanction the use of stun guns incase it went wrong and another person was killed.
nah, they wouldnt have known that the tiger they were faced with was the same one who had acted out previously. They were called to the zoo, saw a tiger attacking a human, and shot it. Do you think anyone (besides a vet) could tell the difference between Tatiana or some other tiger? no way.
Regarding the stun-gun issue: if you were a cop, and came accross a tiger eating someones face off, would you really want to rely on the protection of a zoo worker and their stun-gun?
No, but only because I would want to be the one to shoot the tiger. Because then when I was old I could tell the about the time I shot a tiger with a pistol.
RAWWWWRRR = PLEASE TASE ME, BRO
there was no zoo personal present...at the zoo?
you can do a cite check on this, but from what i read, the cops showed up and called off the zookeepers.
Yes, that's what I read too. In which case, the cops could have been informed of the previous incident and decided to put the animal down.
I'm at my moms in Tucson. Her neighbor was just over here with this bad news. She was at the zoo in Tucson today with her grandkids. They were watching the tigers when one went in the water, appeared to have a sezure and drowned in front of their eyes. She had more details. I'm not sure if the it's in the press yet or not.
RIP Tigers
I think a better issue to argue over is not who deserves our sympathy humans or animals. I think we should be asking if we should have zoos at all.
WTF...from this mornings Dallas paper....
Tiger found dead in Dallas was probably a pet[/b]
The Associated Press
DALLAS -- A Dallas Zoo veterinarian who performed a necropsy on a female tiger found near an apartment complex Tuesday determined that the animal had been shot to death, a zoo official said.
The tiger, which did not belong to the zoo, was found Christmas Day in a vacant lot near Interstate 35E and Overton Road.
The Agriculture Department is investigating, zoo spokeswoman Susan Eckert said.
An unidentified caller phoned a city hot line Tuesday about a dead animal, Eckert said. The sanitation crew that arrived to collect it found a full-grown tiger under a blue tarp.
"They knew this wasn't a normal thing to find along the road, so they delivered it to the zoo," Eckert said.
Dr. Thomas Alvarado performed a necropsy, an autopsy for animals. He found five gunshot wounds, including one in the head and one in the thorax.
The tiger was nearly 6 feet long and weighed about 180 pounds. Zoo officials believe she was a Bengal tiger and was "fairly young," Eckert said.
She appeared to have been in good health before being shot, although she hadn't eaten in about a day.
The tiger had all her teeth.
Zoo officials believe she was a pet because she had been declawed and had a collar around her neck.
She also had a leash that appeared to be a bicycle chain, Eckert said.
The zoo will store the tiger's body until federal officials decide what to do with it, Eckert said.
Frickin' perry masons.
I can just picture the owner, holding the tiger by that bicycle chain walking down the street saying "Bring on your Pit Bulls bitches"!!!!
I'm sayin'! Just get some pet hyenas and baboons and shit and keep it gangster.....
Rawr...
