yeh, but its got the tast of blood, so its gonna want to kill again. besides, the tiger came towards the armed police who shot it in fear of being attacked by the tiger themselves. they had no choice
The police hadn't.  But the damn zoo should have used their fucking darts.  They are going to be sued and now their image is on the floor.
yeh, the zoo should have had their darts ready, but it is justice for the family of the dead person.
You think justice was done, lol?  No, justice will be done when the zoo pays a 7 digit number to them.

No, I don't blame the police.  I blame the damn SF zoo for letting her scape, and for not having the guards with darts at the scene when needed.  They are to blame.
Ok, you're OP is a bit missleading tbh.
What part?  The part saying fuck you SF zoo?
Sounded more like you thought it was wrong to stop the tiger at all instead of then stopping her in a wrong way.

I think the tiger shouldn't be dead, and I blame the zoo for that.

A zoo should never exist.  Animals are not here just so we have something to bring kids to go see.

Yeah. Nosely safari park is better.

Of course it was absolutely the right thing to do. If an animal is on the rampage, killing people, you kill it - as quickly as is possible.

End of.

Of course the owners of the zoo should get in loads and loads of trouble for allowing this tragedy to happen.

Zoos are not there for the kids amusement only.  They also are supposed to work for threatened species conservation.  That's their most important job.  While the environment is being destroyed we rely on them to keep these species alive.

Response times are the issue here. The tiger would've been destroyed after being tranqed anyway (standard policy), so it really makes no difference.

I agree the zoo response time wasn't good enough, then the cops had no choice but shoot the tiger.  I disagree a tiger must be put to sleep just because it killed a person.  It's a wild animal, it's not its fault at all.

Of course the Zoo is guilty, not the tiger (what she was supposed to do? ask "where is the library?"), and relatives of those who were killed should understand that. As for the policemen well they had to protect themselves. Sad story.

Once predatory animals attack humans, it learns that people are a food source. This shit happens in countries like India. The only thing to do is kill the beast. I am sure the powers that be can relocate it but the animal has a way of coming back to human population. This holds true to bears in the U.S.

Yah killing it was the best, now what are they going to do with the pelt....I need a new rug

That doesn't change the fact that it is standard policy in these instances to destroy animals that have killed someone. Whether or not it is the tigers fault is beside the point.

It is obviously the zoos fault for not keeping the tiger properly confined, but the cops should be commended for their swift action which ensured there was no additional loss of life.

Some of you say it was wrong to kill the tiger, so how would you like your relatives to be eaten alive after searching for a TQ dart for 1 hour?
sick fuckers.

So people are wild animals too. More predatory than any others...

So you wouldn't care if a human died instead of a hamster? Think it through next time.

That is reason why we have a prison system.

This is where I think you take pity in the animal too much. No, it's not a wild animal. It's coarsely domesticated and fed multiple times a day, why it decided to attack (out of hunger or innate violence?) I couldn't say.

Secondly, where does the blame lie? The tiger raised it's paw, opened it's jaw and violence ensued. There is a clear difference between a tame tiger and a violent tiger. What happened at the zoo was a case of the latter, as well as a year ago.

At first I voted no, but then I watched the movie in the link.

The man sais the tiger resumed his attack on the victim (one that is still alive) as the officers approached. There was no time to get a tranquilizer dart, so shooting the tiger was the right thing to do.

Yes, he would've fully satisfied the Tigers hunger and the innocent visitors will be spared.
