jcgoble3 Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Idiot. jcgoble3, who would like to comply with the TOS but doesn't have anything else to say 1 Quote
shark6495 Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 hopefully this doesnt create a push to make guests tied into the train or to have the train have sides... 1 person's inability to make a good choice will cause others to have things changed on them. Quote
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 But it was a nice looking kitty cat and I just wanted to pet it and tell it I am not going to harm it. Tony Tiger saw lunch coming but you can't blame the cat. No doubt he will have lawyers contact him and he will sue. 1 Quote

SonofBaconator Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Well I know one tiger that wont go hungry tonight and I know one man that's never going to get his leg back. 1 Quote
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 When will people realize that these are not the same kittys that you have on your lap purring away. These and other wild animals are just that, wild. That chimp that you saw in the Tarzan films was a baby chimp and as people found out, they are very strong animals and will rip your face off, which they have done. These cats can kill you with one swoop of the paws and tear off your head and leg. You do not go into their living area and jump off of a tram or other means of transport to see them and give them a big hug. If you want your own tiger to hug, buy a toy stuffed tiger. Quote
Hendrick Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Just stupid. Glad to hear they won't put the tiger down though. The tiger did nothing wrong and will not be euthanized, zoo officials said. It was back in a holding area where it usually sleeps at night. 3 Quote

jdawg1998 Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Just stupid. Glad to hear they won't put the tiger down though. The tiger did nothing wrong and will not be euthanized, zoo officials said. It was back in a holding area where it usually sleeps at night. No way should it be put down. It's a tiger - a wild animal - a carnivore. What do you expect it to do when there's an intruder? Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 But it was a nice looking kitty cat and I just wanted to pet it and tell it I am not going to harm it. Tony Tiger saw lunch coming but you can't blame the cat. No doubt he will have lawyers contact him and he will sue. The tiger will sue? That would be news (and fitting). Sure, unless the tiger fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, but I think the doctrine of ad impossibilia nemo tenetur would definitely apply (not even wild cats are obligated to perform the impossible). For fifteen minutes of fame, that guy'd give his.... 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted September 22, 2012 Author Posted September 22, 2012 Oh, please: "I wanted to be one with the tiger."

KI-ORIG-EMP Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Tony Tiger was hunger so he called for a take out order. Are people that stupid that they feel the need to get THAT close to nature? Quote
The Interpreter Posted September 22, 2012 Author Posted September 22, 2012 The tiger was asleep. Please don't make things worse. Quote
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 This man has watched way too many nature flicks. He is quoted as , "...Wanting to be one with the tiger." He was lucky Tony Tiger, what I call him, was not all that hungry or he would had really been "one with the tiger!" 1 Quote
