My first question is, "How?" Did the tiger escape its confinement, or did the man walk into the tiger's cage? 😒😒

● The tiger 🐅 didn't escape, the man had entered the tiger enclosure at the wildlife park.
In South America, a different man entered a lions 🦁 den.

The family of the victim needs to sue the hell out of the zoo!

If the zoo keepers were doing their job, that dude would have been saved. The tiger took his time before devouring the man and should have been sedated or shot to death.

….U endanger yourself by being reckless and stvpid , but think those that couldnt save you in time should be sued??
But that you don’t think tinubu should be sued for all the security related deaths in this country

HacheNoire:
What is the job of the zoo keepers?

What do life guards do at the pool?

Is it not their duty to be on the look out for potential threat and accidents.

The video says it all. Someone was not doing his/her job.

Do u know how many pple visit a zoo… u think there are designated zoo keepers to follow everyone around from doing something this reckless?? An adult for that matter… U must be a comedian .

Even if it’s a kid, the zoo keepers cant be held responsible , its the parents that will be held responsible for negligence

Dude, you're sounding dumb.

The job of zoo keepers is to take care of the animals in the zoo, not police visitors around. There's a reason every animal has its own enclosure with large signs giving clear instructions and warnings, it's because of stupid people like that. So if you decide to be stupid enough to ignore all signs and common sense, and still find your way into the enclosure, thats on you.

HacheNoire:
The court will have to decide that. Someone was not doing his job.

How about if the tiger escaped, does it mean the zoo keepers won’t also be available and won’t take responsibility.

Someone did not do his/her job and the video says it all. With the time that tiger soeny romancing the man, if someone was doing his job, it should have been prevented.

What then is their job roles if they are exempted from preventing danger.

U are a comedian … and u are not even funny

Hello, you are wrong!

Zoo keepers are always hanging around any zoo. Loads of them depending how big the zoo happens to be. Some even stationed and will tap you if you crossing limits.

It’s like you saying a life guard is not at the pool side.

I asked someone that what if the tiger jumped out? Will also be the responsibility of the customers.

Don’t lets us argue about what’s not please! Someone was not doing his job!

Dude... A lifeguard is the most dubious comparison. It's like asking the pool maintenance guy to go around making sure people don't drown. LifeGUARD! His only job is to spot possible distress in the water and act, that's his ONLY job. A zookeepers responsibility is to the animals, not the visitors. Do you want to compare the size of a zoo to a pool? How many people will go around tapping everyone on the shoulder? That's why the animals have their own enclosure and there are big signs everywhere because they assume everyone has common sense. You probably think a tiger enclosure is somewhere you can mistakenly wander into. Did you see how high the fence is from the the pictures and videos?

The zoo did everything required of them. They put all proper safety measures in place. Unfortunately, no one can prepare for stupidity.

HacheNoire:
Okay

HacheNoire:
Nothing is funny here and I am laying out fact!

A zoo and pool/beach are leisure destinations and if had a pool ot beach can have a life guard ready to avert evil, what then is the responsibility of zoo keepers in a zoo? Stare at the animals?

I asked you a question that if the tiger had jumped out? Who would have been responsible yonyake ot down before it wrecks havoc, but you skipped the question cos you cannot say the answer.
