Makes your blood run cold doesn't it. These nutters aren't all that unusual though. They long to stare a polar bear or gang of lionesses down to see if their dads were right... there's a case like that somewhere in the world every couple of years. Reply to this message | Report message

he wasn't killed for food anyway, they killed him because he was on their turf. They are too fat and happy to go killing for food. Reply to this message | Report message

"He added that as the incident was "not their fault", the tigers would not be put down." In what circumstances are tigers judged to be "at fault"? Do they hold a trial to determine guilt and mental capacity? Reply to this message | Report message

Now now, no bleeding heart liberals allowed on here, you know that. The tigers need to be tortured and hung. Last edited by: Zero on Thu 12 Jul 12 at 10:16 Reply to this message | Report message

And no-way was he eaten alive! - the first bite is always to the throat (which he had) and would have probably killed him instantly by breaking his neck rather than suffocation, so he was probably dead when they had their midnight snack! Reply to this message | Report message

I prefer Hilaire Belloc's version "He hadn't gone a yard when BANG With open jaws a lion sprang And hungrily began to eat The boy, beginning at his feet Now just imagine how it feels When first your toes and then your heels And then by varying degrees Your shins and ankles, calves and knees Are slowly eaten bit by bit No wonder Jim detested it " monologues.co.uk/Childrens_Favourites/JimBelloc.htm Reply to this message | Report message

If they wanted a dramatic head-line, they could have stated that he was killed alive, would have been nearer the mark! Reply to this message | Report message

You can book a tug-of-war with one our local zoo's tigers. It takes about 12 people to match him, I believe... Reply to this message | Report message

Incredibly, that is true. I thought they had outlawed that kind of taunting and deemining animal stuff along with chimpanzees' tea parties and lions jumping through flaming hoops. I was appalled a few years ago to see staff at Longleat deliberately provoking a rhinocerous to put on a "wild" display for visiors by charging it with an armoured bulldozer. Let's have cock fighting and bear baiting while we are at it, if we can't do the civilised thing and just feed visitors to the tigers. Reply to this message | Report message

>cock fighting and Bear Baiting. Lets go the whole hog, we have time to change the Games Itinerary. Monday : Christians vs Lions Tuesday: Thracians v Spartans Wednesday: Chariot Races And by Thursday, with all this rain, the arena should be sufficiently flooded to stage a full mock naval battle, Roman Galleys take on Carthage. Wont need G4S to do a thing. Last edited by: Zero on Fri 13 Jul 12 at 08:35 Reply to this message | Report message
