Tweet of the Day, The Jaguar Must Be Given Clemency edition.

I generally subscribe to the If it touches a human being, it dies and then so does all other members of its species within a square mile rule, but I make exceptions. This would be one of them.

That was your own damned fault, madam. You come too close to the enclosure, you climb over the barrier that’s there explicitly to keep you from getting too close, then what happens next is up to the jaguar and I can’t fault it for being, you know, a jaguar. I don’t think that she should have died (she just got clawed a bit on one arm), but I do expect her to take the right life lessons from this little escapade. Certainly the zoo hopes so.

  1. If the jag would have killed her, do you think it should then be killed? I’m ambivalent, tbh.

    1. It might be different, then, because then the jaguar might get a taste for killing people. That’s dangerous for the zoo personnel.
