Woman mauled to death by tiger in B.C. Interior

[talloola]

Tania did not own the tigers, nor was she responsible for how they were kept. She did not make a stupid decision that led to her losing her life. Maybe her boyfriend did but it is not for YOU to decide, there are no laws dictating how they should be kept. As for the ridiculous comment that you cannot make a wild animal a pet...ummm, do you think that domesticated animals started out that way? They are called domesticated because people domesticated them. I don't think that irresponsible people should have animals, especially dangerous ones, don't get me wrong. I just think it is difficult to determine which animals fall in that category. The people that owned this tiger felt affection for it and believed that they were safe, as I am sure many dog owners do right b4 Fido turns on the next door neighbour's kid. Where do you draw the line? I think pit bulls and other "fighting" dogs are dangerous but does that mean that no one should be allowed to have them? I am offended that people are calling down a dead mother, my friend, when they know next to nothing about what happened. That is my issue with what was said. I simply think that all of you that said something ignorant should be ashamed of speaking ill of the dead, especially considering you all were either mis- or un-informed.

My opinion, 'again', is that noone should ever force a wild animal to become a pet, it is a selfish
and 'me me me' kind of move. Whatever kind of tragedy is at the end of a relationship like that
is expected, and horrible, but anyone involved does not get my sympathy, only the animal does.
That is my opinion, and it is not ignorant. Pit Bulls should be a concern, but they are not a wild
animal, and trying to compare domestic animals with wild animals, especially something as large
and strong as a tiger, is ignorant.
Our country definitely should adopt some type of law, protecting wild animals from people like
these, so that these tragedys won't happen again, and the result is the animal being put to death,
when they were behaving in a normal manner, 'for a wild animal', that, for me is the real tragedy.
