They are safe. No one is worried about our zoos. Let's stop the nonsense already. This is a non-issue with the American people. A useless Mexican died and his two thug friends are injured. The only tragedy here is that a magnificant animal lost its life. The media needs to stop demonizing this animal and put the blame where it belongs, with Mexican thugs.
Very Well Put...... Hooooooooooah
Safe? Get rid of zoos!!! (And circuses too while we're at it.) This is a classic Darwin case of survival of the fittest (aka. stupid human trick), unfortunately the tiger was taken out without due cause. When will humans learn that wild animals should not be contained/trained for human entertainment. They are not man's best friend and they will always act like they are suppose to... wild! Go online or go to Asia to see/learn about a tiger. My sympathy lies with Tatiana and all caged animals.
What a beautiful tiger, what a loss for nature. A majestic creature, caged, only four years old, shot dead after defending her peace when she was taunted and felt attacked. Will the police shoot me too if I seem to turn on them? I read she was born in 2003 and was moved to the zoo in 2005. What was Tatiana's life like during those two years? She could have been mistreated by people or raised as a wild "housepet". I couldn't find information. Hopefully, the family of those stupid kids will never see one cent for causing the slaughter of Tatiana. If they do somehow win a crooked suit against that zoo, may it bring them bad karma to use it buying a fancy race car and may they crash and burn to death in it!
She was born at the Denver zoo and was moved to queerland to mate with another tiger. As far as safety, maybe it would be more difficult for a tiger to jump as high if there was some water in the moat... (unable to get a good running start, extra weight of wet fur, ect.)
Tatiana was minding her own business I'm sure because thousands past this den and not one time has this happen so it's telling ones something.Also these 2 men lied to Carlos dad that he wasn't with them nor saw him,than didn't even want to give Carlos name at first so the family would get word and get to the hospital for their son.I wonder now had these 2 fled without any harm and Carlos was dead laying there would they have even admitted they were with him?I doubt it
Carlos family needs to keep asking questions of these 2 men and so does the Zoo because 2 are dead,Carlos and Tatiana,which I feel are innocent,Tatiana minding her own business and Carlos hanging out with hoods who he thought were friends.I figure Carlos family and the Zoo should (now) join forces regardless of this tragedy to get to the bottom of this being that the 2 brothers had gotten a high profile lawyer without not one time speaking to Carlos family while they were in the Hospital and their son Carlos was laying in the morgue and Tatiana was laying where ever she was.Now some time has gone by for them to have a new story to cover theirselves.Wonder who got in touch with who first,the lawyer or these 2 hoods.I sure hope that the cell phones can be checked out with the tecks and if there were any pics because both Carlos family and the Zoo have the right to know of who they talked to and if they took any pics of Tatiana while this bs went on.A woman called the police saying she saw some doing this earlier.I would have gone right to the people of the zoo and told them they better do something right away.Again,the people of the zoo along with Carlos family and experts of the wild along with an attorney should sit in one room and discuss the sad happening----go for a trial.It's sad to see Carlos father go on tv with the media saying he's tried to talk to these 2 and he's been ignore.It's saying something and lets face it if these 2 said Carlos tried to help the one brother,question is why didn't the brother try to help his own.Seems that an animal would attack the 1st one in front of it so was Carlos in front and why,So many questions within this puzzle
