yndy found this ... seems some 17-year-old chiXX0r in Kansas decided she couldn't possibly have some mere ordinary photo for her yearbook senior photo, she had to pose with a tiger at a wildlife sanctuary. Despite being "restrained" by its handler, the tiger killed her, whereupon the local sheriff's department killed the tiger for, well, basically for being a tiger, when you really come down to it.
IMHO, they should have let the tiger live -- it was just being a tiger, for crissakes -- and executed the parents instead for approving this stupid stunt. Charge them with conspiracy to arrange the death of their daughter or something.
....Well, OK, so I'm not entirely serious about executing the parents. But this was both (a) not the tiger's fault, and (b) a Really Fucking Stupid Idea. You'd think at the very least, they'd have called the whole thing off as soon as it became apparent the handler was having to restrain the tiger. This is a case of a complete and total lack of common sense from beginning to end. This wasn't just felony stupid, it was capital stupid, and Nature imposed sentence on the spot.
Hello?!? 600lb predator? This isn't like posing with your stuffed Tigger toy, y'know.
Hell of a shame about the waste of a perfectly good tiger.
