I hope they check the tiger for rabies after this. Poor thing was probably traumatized as well.

I would hope someone seconds this woman for the 2015 Darwin Award (too dumb to live).

I hope she doesn’t have access to a gun; our zoo animals will not be safe, if so.

I can see Darwin slapping HIS head over this!

Zoo petting, of course, now this would be a GOP debate to remember!

'Ch’i ‘hu nan hsia pei’ goes the Chinese proverb, translated in 1875 as ‘He who rides a tiger is afraid to dismount.’ The Oxford Dictionary of Proverbs interprets the old Asian metaphor as ‘Once a dangerous or troublesome venture is begun, the safest course is to carry it through to the end.’

I guess she decided to let go.

If all zoo animals had guns, she would never have gotten close enough for this to happen.

Three streams of immigrants have populated this already occupied continent: those looking for opportunity and survival, those brought here against their consent, and the classic American dipwad looking for religiotic freedumb & the liburdee to break into a zoo while drunk & pet a friggin’ top predator.

(snark aside on this one) – "First the person takes a drink…Then the drink takes a drink… Then the drink takes a person — Problem drinkers affect almost EVERYONE in this country in one way or another — I hope this woman can find some help before it’s other people who are paying the price —

She looks perfectly average. “The tiger was not injured” lol

ronbyers · November 2, 2015, 5:42pm

You can’t fix stupid drunk.

I hope she is bright enough not to sue the zoo.

This moron, cretin, assh*le was very lucky to have an arm left to pull back after she reached in.

Another idiot Republican.

The moral of this story is: never drink alcoholic beverages while reading Tiger Beat.

Cut her some slack…she was safer with the tiger than if she’d been confronted by the local police…

Tiger playing “catch a human by the toe” in the background…

old_curmudgeon · November 2, 2015, 6:12pm

She’s dumb enough to be a Republican.

rudesan · November 2, 2015, 6:12pm

Maybe better if she had stayed Frozen.

Keep in mind that the NRA would fight to the death for the right of an idiot like this to amass a large collection of firearms.
