If I was a tiger locked up in a zoo, where people pay money to stare at me all day, I'd do the same thing.

When you really think about it, there isn't any other satisfactory solutions

Really what else is there to do? The viewers usually are looking for some form of entertainment from the animals aren't they?

Believe me, it would definitely be more than entertainment

This is almost border-line funny.

People go and gawk at dangerous animals because they assume they are safely locked up. Turns out one of them isn't locked up good enough, gets out, and kills someone.

On the bright side, someones family is going to be rich after the lawsuit, and they are never going to have to work again.

I don't like going to zoos in the first place, and I do get a bit nervous when passing through the big cat areas.

The approximately 300-pound female did not leave through an open door, Jenkins said. But he could not explain how it escaped — the tiger's enclosure is surrounded by a 15-foot-wide moat and 20-foot-high walls.

"There was no way out through the door," Jenkins said. "The animal appears to have climbed or otherwise leapt out of the enclosure."

I think it would be sort of cool to be one of the survivors if their faces werent messed up. Chicks would totally dig tiger scars. At 300lbs I'm willing to think that if you really tried you could probably take the tiger out yourself, especially if you carried a knife on you.

It's odd that they haven't identified the victim yet. Apparently the man was not carrying identification, and no one has called about him. A homeless person, perhaps? Who else would be eating Christmas dinner alone in a zoo's cafe, 15 minutes after closing time?
