Even though this happened earlier in the week, I'm just hearing about this now. Newsflash people! Tigers are NOT pets and they will never be domesticated cute little housecats!

I worked a seasonal job at a zoo for 15 years and the custodial work was done by full time zoo employees, not cheap outside labor. Full time zoo employees know better. Yes, dangerous cats that are born and raised at the zoo are wild animals.
