Just reading this I'm pretty sure they shot it to get it off the guy. I think its sader that there are still all those poor lions and tigers in those tiny cages.

Oh yeah just randomly white tigers are genetic deformation and are usually quite sick and die at birth. They aren't a 'rare' species like people think. That doesnt make it any better just a bit of random knowledge.]]> Sun, 31 May 2009 20:50:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26783&PID=698256&title=keeper-mauled-to-death-at-zion#698256 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26783&PID=696817&title=keeper-mauled-to-death-at-zion#696817 Author: Natalie_G

Very horrible for the keeper and his family. I couldn't imagine what he went through.

I do however, not agree with shooting the animal, it was a rare animal, its about the same as going out and killing a gorilla. At the end of the day tigers are not like the cats that are in our living rooms and should be treated with safety always, a lot of the time I have seen the keepers cuddling them. ]]> Thu, 28 May 2009 17:14:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26783&PID=696817&title=keeper-mauled-to-death-at-zion#696817 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26783&PID=696353&title=keeper-mauled-to-death-at-zion#696353 Author: caitlynsmygirl

People need to remember that they are wild animals and should be treated as such , with distance and respect .

Its when people think of them as cute pets that things like this happen , I don't understand why they shot it too, unless as Fiona says it was still attacking the man .
But shooting it after the attack, seems pretty pointless .

What a horrible situation for all involved ]]> Wed, 27 May 2009 23:32:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26783&PID=696353&title=keeper-mauled-to-death-at-zion#696353 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26783&PID=696225&title=keeper-mauled-to-death-at-zion#696225 Author: FionaO

Why did the old lion man have to go?

Its a bit weird, they said his mum is running it.

I am a bit surprised they shot the tiger too, unless they shot him whilst he was attacking in an effort to save the man, shooting him after the event seems pointless.

i think the park will really suffer now.]]> Wed, 27 May 2009 20:13:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26783&PID=696225&title=keeper-mauled-to-death-at-zion#696225 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26783&PID=696164&title=keeper-mauled-to-death-at-zion#696164 Author: kellie

Yeah there are few enough of them around so shooting it seems silly. Its not like its a pet dog or anything its a very rare species.

I don't get why they shot it. I'm mean really shoot an endangered wild animal because it did what wild animals do, what does that achieve? It's not gonna bring the keeper back and those keepers are doing what they are doing cos they are trying to help the species survive, sure it's horrific that this has happened but I doubt if you could ask the guy he would have wanted the tiger shot. It's not like it's someone's pet and could potentially injure or kill someone else, they were in the tiger's enclosure, it hadn't even escaped.]]> Wed, 27 May 2009 14:45:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26783&PID=695981&title=keeper-mauled-to-death-at-zion#695981 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26783&PID=695955&title=keeper-mauled-to-death-at-zion#695955 Author: lisa85
