Although I love cats and have four of the domestic kind, I am not what you would really call an animal rights activist who values animals more than people (although my husband is always accusing me of being one just because I love my cats). At the same time, I think it is a tragedy that this beautiful creature died as a result of the actions of these young men. Although the tiger had injured a zoo keeper once before, that wall had been the same height for as long as it had been at the zoo and it never offered to jump over it. The tiger was acting instinctively to an unprovoked attack, and, while it is also tragic that a young man is dead, the boys bear the primary responsibility for what happened to them and to the tiger.
No, it’s NOT tragic a young man was killed.
It was Evolution in Action: the twit was obviously too stupid to be allowed to breed, and his actions, along with those of his friends, allowed nature to remove him from the gene pool
(evil grin)
I would say your husband is a smart man, the animal rights activist have there own little email alert system so they can pile on in their hate filled attacks like this.
It should be noted that every unnamed source to-date about this case has proved to be wrong.
