so did ya hear the one about the tiger in san fran that somehow escaped it's enclosure and mauled 3 people, killing one of them?
i kept hearing the story over and over again on am news radio on the way back to ny yesterday and reading about it today the one thing i don't see is the fact that the police chief, heather fong, basically accused the men of provoking the tiger. i thought, "well, hot diggity dog! the next time i decide kill someone, i'll make sure that they 'provoke' me first."
but since they killed the tiger, i guess it's kinda useless.

Posted: 12/27/07 at 4:06pmPapa, I'm not sure who pisses me off more: The people speculating if the Tiger was "Provoked" or the women I saw on the news yesterday crying that "Zoos should be safe! Why does this happen all the time?"

Nitpicky: If you're gonna quote the William Blake poem, it's "Tyger, tyger, burning bright." With a Y.
And you can't compare a human being killing someone and a tiger killing someone after being provoked. There's a huge logical jump there.

Posted: 12/27/07 at 4:12pmIf you can't taunt zoo animals in complete safety, why in the world would anyone visit zoos?

Posted: 12/27/07 at 4:13pmno. it's san fran. there's no logical leap at all.

Whenever I go to the zoo and see those pits separating the beasts from us I wonder 'what if the designer was a maniac who intentionally made the pits too short so one day he could blow a whistle that only the animals would hear and they'd leap across the unsafe pits and attack us all.'

papa: That's just silly, I'm sure the baboons were in fact rather appreciative of your friendly gesture.
popa: Thanks, now I have to go to school to be an architect so I can somehow design a zoo just like that. You have changed the course of my life. I am forever indebted to you.

I think it would only have been "Tyger with a 'Y'" if the San Francisco cat had been a male.

Posted: 12/27/07 at 4:22pmMaybe the tiger was provoked. They found one of the guys' shoes in the enclosure and have hypothesized that one of them dangled their leg into the pit. I'm not saying that definitely happened, but I think there's a possibility. And people have done stupid s**t like that before. When I was a kid, I remember two dumbass guys sneaking into the polar bear tank at a NY zoo after dark to "swim" with them. I think they both were killed.

Posted: 12/27/07 at 4:51pmI didn't say that it was a *good* song, but it seems the obvious choice for this situation.

Posted: 12/27/07 at 5:39pmAnd I here I thought that this would be a discussion about William Blake. Do we start a thread titled "Little lamb, who made thee? Dost thou know who made thee?" when we start hearing about rampant sheep at a pumpkin patch in Peoria?

If tha'ts the statement you want to make, yeah, sure.
Though I still contend that the title of this thread is not a correct cultural reference because of the Y.
