Responses:

how horrible. -- nm - Jovian Oct 19, 13:48
it upsets me a lot that they killed pretty much all of them. i don't believe, no matter what they say, that that was necessary. -- nm - Andie Oct 19, 13:48 23
- there isnt any question in my mind either that all this was necessary either. Hick cops had themselves a field day! Yeaa haa!! - Jovian Oct 19, 13:51 19
  - I'm going to take Jack Hanna's word on this one. -- nm - Ender Oct 19, 13:52 5
    - There was no better option, sadly. If the fucktard hadn't let them free they'd all still be alive. Blame him, not the cops who were trying to - TWuG Oct 19, 13:55 1
      - from what I saw on the videos, those communities did not need protecting. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 14:00
    - The deaths are regrettable, but it's the guy who let them go that gets the blame, not the guys who showed up to find 35 lions and tigers running loose on a dark and stormy night. -- nm - Ender Oct 19, 13:54 2
      - this, exactly. Suicide guy is the one who killed them. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 13:55 1
        
        he would likely have also killed them if he had not let them loose. - ghouly Oct 19, 14:01
  - really? 18 tigers running loose, couple of cops with shotguns? -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 13:52 12
    - I dont buy it. sorry. they slaughtered almost all of them! did these animals coordinate an attack on the police? -- nm - Jovian Oct 19, 13:53 9
      - What did you want them to do? Sneak up on them and put a leash on them? They couldn't tranq them in the night and couldn't wait till morning. -- nm - Ender Oct 19, 13:55 2
        
        right. they couldn't call the zoo and wait 8 hours for experts to set up nets. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 13:56 1
        
        Well, they did call the zoo and they were there last night and they supported the "shoot them" plan. -- nm - Ender Oct 19, 13:57
      - yes, because tigers are generally docile and completely safe to be around. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 13:54 5
        
        i understand that there was no way to avoid *some* deaths. i don't believe there was no way to capture even one lion or tiger with tranquilizers. -- nm - Andie Oct 19, 13:56 4
        
        apparently several animals were indeed caught alive. And at least one animal was killed by the other animals. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 13:57 3
        
        yes, six. not one lion or tiger which is why i said those specifically. -- nm - Andie Oct 19, 13:59 1
        
        I support their decision on this completely, sorry. - loosilu Oct 19, 14:00
        
        A grizzly bear, three leopards and two monkeys were captured alive. -- nm - Ender Oct 19, 13:58
    - Initial responders used sidearms. -- nm - TWuG Oct 19, 13:53 1
      - ok. A couple of cops with 18 tigers, armed only with glocks. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 13:54
- you might feel dif if lions and tigers where hungry in your suburban nabe -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 19, 13:50 1
  - i'm actually pretty damn sure i wouldn't. i wouldn't go *out*, but i'd want them to capture all that were possible. -- nm - Andie Oct 19, 13:53
- *high fives andie* nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 13:49
gah, that is so sad. what a waste. :( - stoopid/crazy guy. -- nm - b. Oct 19, 13:44
18 TIGERS????? nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 13:38 6
- And a mere 17 lions. -- nm - Ender Oct 19, 13:39 5
  - how the hell do you feed that many animals? nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 13:40 4
    - Hobos mostly. -- nm - Ender Oct 19, 13:43
    - Dead livestock he got from nearby farms, in part. -- nm - TWuG Oct 19, 13:42 2
      - last I heard, it is like 200 pounds of meat a week to feed one full grown tiger. - ghouly Oct 19, 13:49 1
        
        i've been to feeding time a rescue near my home town - yeah, one tiger ate, like, 20 pounds of meat at that feeding. -- nm - Andie Oct 19, 13:50
I don't think this trailer for "We Bought a Zoo" is going to work out well. -- nm - Qale Oct 19, 13:30
*kare do not click this - I'm not either* -- nm - Epiphany Oct 19, 13:29
