escaped tiger mauls person to death

Very tragic that someone was killed by a tiger that had escaped from the San Fransisco zoo...

But how about don't put the tiger in the zoo in the first place? It's not like the tiger realized it was going "off-limits"--because in it's natural environment, there are no artificial enclosures that would render arbitrary grounds impermeable...

But then again, maybe the tiger did realize that it was escaping because it did not want to be locked up in a fucking fake habitat in the first place. I'm not familiar with the S.F. zoo to know how crappy or relatively un-crappy it is...but I think the following quote I pulled from the newspaper is telling:

"[The tiger] seemed well adjusted and was not pacing," he said.

Yes, because zoo life is unnatural and traumatic and not all animals can transition to proper "adjustment."

But clearly, even an animal that seemingly has adjusted is still not willing to stay put like a doll and smile for gawking passers-by. Yes, I am aware that animals do not smile...but what I mean to say is remain complacent and jovial in their own oppression.

Sort of like women.

Isn't it nice that we shoot animals that do not give into their own oppression? Sounds a lot like the social and physical punishment we inflict on women who transgress social barriers of culturally sanctioned, heteronormative femininity.

Of course, we do the same thing with men that transgress social barriers of culturally sanctioned, heteronormative masculinity.

Well, the tiger is not the only one who must be wary of borders...
