Siberian Tiger & Chaos At San Francisco Zoo?

News services report " chaos " at the S.F. Zoo during the recent death of one, mauling of two and the killing of the culprit the rare Siberian Tiger "Titania". What " chaos "? The death of the first victim and the death of the Tiger all happened in 20 minutes. That's pretty efficient and fast by jungle standards.

What is truly the result of chaos is that there are only 600 Siberian Tigers in the wild while there are app. 6.6 billion humans who ravage the planet at their leisure. More chaos will follow when the lawsuit will over value the human carnage while the tiger will only be garbage.

Zoos, Tigers & Other Endangered Species

Yesterday a visitor to the San Francisco Zoo was killed and two others were mauled by a rare Siberian Tiger who got out of his caged area and was later killed by police. A sorrowful experience all the way around.

What should be the purpose of a zoo? I think that the zoo's highest use is for captive breeding programs for endangered species so the animals can be released back into the wild. Caged animals being stared at by humans does not justify the expense and the quasi, slow-motion torture of imprisoned beasts.
