Tiger Kills 6-Year-Old At Zoo In China
BEIJING -- A 6-year-old Chinese girl was attacked and killed by a trained tiger while posing for a picture with the animal at a zoo... Chinese news reports said the child and five other family members were standing behind the tiger when it was apparently spooked by a camera flash, grabbed the girl and clamped her head in its mouth. The mother was injured trying to free her daughter. Zoo staffers beat the tiger with wooden sticks and a bench until it released the child after about a minute, but she died at a hospital...The zoo has suspended the photo attraction, which allowed tourists to pose with trained tigers for a $2 fee...
In the words of Chris Rock on the Vegas showmen attacked by the tiger:
"That tiger didn't go crazy, that tiger went "tiger".
Sad what happened to the little girl, but taking a picture with a wild animal is pretty "dumb".
