Tiger escapes at San Francisco Zoo, killing and wounding visitors

[Pinocchio Liberal 268]

And Michal Vick went to jail for fighting dogs, while OJ went free after murdering 2 people.

I believe playing with my cat and dogs with little toys making them attack, is cute as do many. This is taunting also. So I guess its okay to torment your little pets? This kid didnt deserve to die, #######?

Their was a lady in Cali. that died jogging on a trail, A mountain lion killed her because the lion was triggered by her movements. I guess she deserved to die also because she was jogging. Running screamin little kids, people walking by the tigers enclosure, may have been enough to trigger it. The Irony about the lady jogging is, the cubs of the lion got more donations than the ladies family.

####### are you talking about. apples and oranges.

That is called "engaging play". Also the one thing to remember is that your cats are not going to eat you if they get a little rough. Plus they are domesticated...tigers are not. Too many differences to compare, I'm afraid, imo.

This is in the wild. People are warned about possible wild animal attacks and should be aware of the possibility of them happening. I feel this is a different scenario to the one that happened at the zoo, again, imo.

Mags, Engaging play? The six inch infected scratch on the back of my hand certainly didnt feel like "play" I didnt hear any purrrrrring either. If I engage "play" with a tiger im dead. I guess when its a tiger its toement but with a kitty cat its play. I get it now.

What the hell are you doing to your cat? Did you put it in a concrete enclosure and dangle a live mouse over the edge? If so, you deserved to get scratched. If not, apples and oranges.

Marc, a cat ain't gonna kill you, there's the difference. A tiger is also a tad bigger than a domesticated kitty. If you're silly enough to play with a tiger then you have to expect that something bad is going to happen. If you dangle body parts in front of it you have to expect that it will do what it was programmed to do instinctively...and that is kill to eat. To assume any less is to disrespect the animal.

"Engaging play" is actually a term used by many feline behaviourists to describe what domestic cats do when playing or attacking their favourite stuffed mouse. Or human hand.

Different scenario altogether, but tigers have a way of eating flesh.

My cat occasionally bites me when she's hungry in the morning, but I'm pretty sure she doesn't exactly see me as a potential meal.
