With a hand that large it was inevitable...

"I put my hand down there to pet it and it ripped my finger. I was in total shock. I really didn't believe that was part of my finger laying on the ground."

you don't say.

Speaking of vicious attacks... Good lord.

indeed. lol

So hypothetically a random guy can sue her for not blocking while he punches her straight onto her jaw?

Oh, well here you go, just so you know that stupid people don't just exist in 'MURICA!

11 year old boy loses hand after father allows him to go into Tiger security area to pet it.

i think he meaned the suing culture of America and not taking responsability for your own actions. That is strongest in America. Ofcourse you have dumb people everywhere.

Would have thought it was the daughter and that it would be a little kid, nope just a fucking idiot.
Should have just jumped in the cage so natural selection could take place.

Also fuck zoos in general, fucking indecent concept.

What?! Zoos are very important for protecting and studying wildlife and the reason a lot of animals are not extinct to this day. However, strict rules and regulations should be applied to them to make sure that the animals get the care and space they need.

I would say reserves are important for protecting and studying wildlife, not them caged in a tiny space compared to their norm. But I guess it depends on the zoo, I'm sure there's some where they give the animals a lot of privacy and space. I can see zoo breeding programs being important if there's an extinction issue

Wow, the writing in this article is atrocious.

anyone, some random dude living in a box with a flip phone, can write for examiner. it's just a big ad extravaganza, no fact checking allowed.

All the zoos that I've been to make it impossible to stick you hands into the enclosure of a dangerous animal, using either glass, barriers, fine mesh or a combination of all three. The fact that she was able to put her hand into the enclosure is worrying as it would imply that a child might be able to do the same.

Because she's an adult of supposed sound mind and should know better I hope she doesn't get a penny from the zoo in damages.

 

[Dead Man]

I don't know.

As a member of staff I'm not so sure you can take a "Well, it's your funeral" approach to these happenings. There are mentally handicapped adults out there.

Ah, I don't know. I think it's tricky.

You want staff to physically restrain someone? That's a lawsuit too.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Yup. They'd be sued in a heartbeat by a moron for doing that too. You can't win. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't anymore. People need to start taking responsibility for their stupidity and GET SOME FUCKING COMMON SENSE!!!!

 

[Jito]

Didn't realise you could sue in America for being a fucking moron.
