1. The tiger was thinking,

"Don't fuck with me, fellas!"

:wow:

2. "No" means "no", after all - even in tiger

It sounds from the article that he was trying to physically put the male tiger onto the female, which should be a guaranteed Darwin Award. I do that with my housecats sometimes (not to make them mate, but because it's funny), and it usually leads to scratching...

3. Wouldn't showing some soft core flicks been much safer? n/t

5. They actually do that with apes

Bill Cosby did a riff in the '60s about a male gorilla named Bobo at the Seattle Zoo who just wasn't interested. One thing they tried was showing him "gorilla stag films — y'know, where the gorillas have black tape across their eyes so you can't tell who they are."

6. I remember that one

4. He got fucked over.

7. I can hardly blame the tiger

I don't want a damn micro-manager around when I'm trying to get busy.

8. Now that is one seriously stupid zoopkeeper.

Even my domestic kitties can be a handful, let alone a Siberian tiger. Anybody with any experience at all around cats would know better than to try to get it to do anything it doesn't want to do. :wtf:

10. The zoo is closed for an investigation. WHY?

Cause of death: "Operator headspace error."

11. More proof that "abstinence only" is the only truly safe alternative.

12. Or maybe the zookeeper shouldn't have been trying to wank the tiger.
