  1. He’s never going to financially recover from this.

  2. Tiger got to eat,
    Bird got to fly.
    Man got to ask himself
    Why why why.

    Tiger got to sleep,
    Bird got to land.
    Man got a tell himself 
    That he understand.

  3. so does that mean we never need to hear about joe exocit again? oh wait no, it wasn’t him….

  4. 1. How the hell is the show still allowed to continue?

    2. How the hell did Joe get a cell phone in prison?

  5. is this the one that was being built along the Texas border in the last episode of the first season?

  6. My team The Guardians are making a nice late season run.

  8. This seems like a completely avoidable calamity with even very minor planning and preparation.

  9. I’m sorry for the family of this man. Sorry for your loss. People who are keeping tigers locked up like this, and think they are safe are very much ignorant of the power of these wild animals. Same goes for the trainers of killer whales. There is no surprise here.

  10. This happened to my mother’s cousin’s friend’s college roommate’s …. Associate.

  11. These tigers don’t belong there. They aren’t show animals. It’s so sad that now this tiger _probably_ will be euthanized because these fucking losers are so obsessed with them.

    I’m not going to say this guy deserved to be mauled to death. But man, if you trade in exotic apex predators for a shitty zoo, that used to be run by Joe Exotic, I’m not gonna mourn you.

  12. Oh darn, I thought he died … read the headline too fast

  13. I called for help twice. Not a f@ck you, what do you need. Nothing.

  14. “They also mentioned other bad stuff he allegedly did.” Come through TMZ journalism!!!

  15. “…the tiger, which grabbed him around his neck and shoulder area, and sank its teeth into him before violently shaking him.”

    During a show too. God damn.
