Twelve Dead, Zoo Animals Loose After Floods

[ParanoiD84]

Georgia isn't exactly the natural habitat of African animals. And these animals are even more dangerous than wild animals because they've been around humans and are more prone to approach them, rather than run away. They're gonna to get hungry and I don't think after being in captivity their whole life, they're suddenly going to not go to humans for food.

It's dangerous, and if they can't catch them humanely, they need to put down.

Hehe true atleast they got a sweet taste of freedom, hope they catch them and move them rather than killing them though.

Pretty sure lions tigers hippos and jaguars aren't native to Georgia

Hippos are masters at adapting

Maybe this counts as a Necro, but it's worth reporting that one of the escaped tigers apparently killed someone, last I heard they're still hunting it.

Tigers are an animal you never want eating a person, they get addicted to the taste of salt in our blood and become pathological man-eaters quickly, so putting it down is the only option now.

Oh, interesting.

I had only heard of cougars that are pathological man-eaters before.

Its' well-documented, especially in India where they're native, a tiger that's got a taste for human will hunt humans to the exclusion of much easier prey.

Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins are on the case.

We have black bears here that rarely attack humans. They burrow under a fence at a garbage dump and just sit on top of the garbage piles eating. They are actually pretty docile, you can get out of your car and toss your garbage on the pile then leave without the bear even looking at you.

But if one of the bears attacks anyone they are put down immediately.
