Palm Beach Zoo officials have defended their decision not to shoot the rare tiger attacking Stacey Konwiser…
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission also said in its report released Monday that the Palm Beach Zoo violated no state regulations that led to the April 15 death of Stacey Konwiser and that all of the gates in the tiger house were operating properly.
Zoo spokeswoman Naki Carter had no immediate comment.
Konwiser, 38 and an experienced keeper, had entered the tiger house to prepare for a presentation. The report says a warning sign on the door showed the 12-year-old Malayan tiger named Hati wasn’t locked up, but for an unknown reason Konwiser entered anyway…
Konwiser’s screams caused co-workers to run to the pen where they found the 300-pound tiger standing over her body. Her neck had been crushed and her jugular severed, according to a recent autopsy report.
Zoo officials have defended their decision not to shoot the rare tiger…
I’m sorry Stacy, he’s too rare, and it is too risky to shoot. Let it go! Let go and go to the light! You’ll be in a happy place!
Notice I have always said, r-strategist deer feel nothing if a wolf jumps out and grabs “Bob,” as he grazes alongside them. As they all run off, their only thought is, “Whew! That could have been me.” Tomorrow, they can set up right next to what is left of Bob’s dead body, and eat grass like nothing happened. All they will think to themselves is, “Hey, this the remains of that guy I ate alongside of! Boy he really got eaten.”
Similarly in a month I am sure all these zoo workers will be fine – so long as nobody ends up in the zoo enclosure looking available when Harambe is in the midst of his daily auto-erotic activities. After all, sex is meaningless, and you can’t blame Harambe – he has needs too.
Notice how you see this exact same thing in our national security with regard to importing foreign savages who pose a clear and present danger to everyone.
Rabbits are rabbits are rabbits, all the way down.
