I fell in here once. Didn't get attacked though, not even by the Fourways boets.

ex neighbour of mine owns tigers milk - part of group of restaurants he owns - never realised it was so big tho.
and indeed - known cougar hunting grounds.
on the flip side, some of his other places are known for wimminz with spades on their backs, panning for gold !

Your concerns have been answered.

“Regarding rumours surrounding the condition of the tiger, the animal was uninjured and remained in the enclosure following the incident and there is no wider risk to the public.”

Is that some sort of ACME trap set up by Wile E. Coyote?

Meep! Meep!

Apparently the guy tried to communicate with the tiger using makaton, a language system that combines hand gestures, pictures and speech used by people with learning or speech disabilities, autism, down syndrome, cerebral palsy etc etc.

Extended pinky with a clenched fist like this guy did means bad or naughty in makaton.

If true that's incredibly sad. Poor guy.

Apparently the tiger broke his neck while smacking him around.

Some common sense at last (which is not too common these days).

Hopefully more common sense kicks in and zoos will soon become extinct
