A Bengal tiger has killed a lion at Ankara Zoo after finding a gap in the fence separating their cages, say zoo officials in the Turkish capital.
The tiger severed the lion's jugular vein in a single stroke with its paw, leaving the animal dying in a pool of blood, officials said.

The zoo says it is safe for visitors, despite the incident.

You like turkey huh?
“American’s [sic] demonstrating how to fail”
Apostraphes are not used for plurals.
They are used for concatenations: “Turkey is failed” to “Turkey’s failed”
or for possession: “Turkey’s military will shortly be islamic”.

Grammar policing? Typical for a thought trapped in-the-box young engineer.

You’ve got to learn sometime bubba. Just trying to help.
It makes you look like a fool. Since you dislike the unions, I have no benefit in you looking like a fool.

Yeah - I’ve been really confrontational on this thread.
I’m actually a bit p**d about this. Seems like a damn waste of a perfectly good cat to me.
Damn turks can’t even keep a fence fixed.

If this is the zoo I think it is, it was turned over to the people by Kemal Atatürk. It is whoa-fully underfunded and run down.
