Wow. What a nasty way to go. I'm so curious as to how it got out. Something similar happened at Busch Gardens several years ago when a zookeeper lost her arm after a bout with a female lion. Having seen her up close one day while there with my son I can say that it's really surprising how big and powerful these cats are even if you "know how big and strong they are." Paws like serving platters, I sure wouldn't want to get hit by one.

Something doesn't seem right in this horrible tragedy. Either there was some terrible design of the enclosure, negligence by zoo staff or criminal mischief on the part of someone. What a terrifying way to die, too.

According to the zoo, more humans die each year in tiger attacks than in attacks by any other animal, although such incidents are still rare because tigers normally avoid people.

I know. I could have sworn it was hippos myself...

Hungry, hungry hippos.

I read earlier that the zoo is closed down and is considered a crime scene because they claim that for sure that it didn't get out via the gate.

Why do I sense that those asshole PETA morons are behind this?
