Darwin Award Candidate - Dublin Zoo Tiger Person

Unfortunately Michele, she doesn't qualify for the Darwin award having survived the ordeal!

Bit harsh with the "unfortunately" there Tom. :)

Actually the Darwin award has a category for Hono(u)rable Mentions, for those who tried to 'improve the gene pool', in the Awards tradition, but did not succeed and are still with us.

Actually I spoke too soon; the rules exclude climbing into zoo cages on the grounds that it is "all too common". Oh well.

My opinion; she should be fed to the tiger, and her parents, siblings and close relatives. there must be a stupid chromosome in their genetic makeup that humaity obviosly has no need for

Apparently there is talk of putting the tiger down, a siberian tiger, one of the most endangered species on the planet.

The girl is the one that should be put down, Homo-Stupidus are not in any way endangered.

I guess the question has to be asked: is the media leaving anything out? It wouldn't be the first time they forgot to mention something, like a mental handicap. (Or whatever the current politically correct term is, I can't keep up.) Of course it goes both ways: if you stick your arm in a tiger cage, should you be classed mentally handicapped? ;)

I see she's a psychology student - bet her parents/landlord wouldn't let her have a kitten. Oh, what terrible trauma can result ...

I read that she has a job in a chipper - not too stupid to keep her hands out of the deep-fat fryer, eh? I suspect that, like Dublin Zoo, her employers have a policy against getting drunk while you're there.

Could have been worse - a bit of E & she'd have wanted to hug them, not just pet them. What was her friend thinking anyway?
"Oh, Let's climb in and pet the tigers - Yes dear, whatever you say?"

Watch out for copy-cat crimes, you tigers ...
