BlackSS04 Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 (edited) i think that zoo should be shut down for doing that. just to think the chinese will pay to see something like that. that shits just barbaric and insane. i agree with what the people are saying about it on this site : http://www.metro.co.uk/news/article.html?i...amp;expand=true As Mahatma Gandhi once said “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” Edited July 18, 2007 by BlackSS04 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usabodyguard Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 two sides to every story in life... always... sure it is insane to put this kind of a display on... but as the article states, this is teach the tigers to get back into the wild and to hunt... and the pay helps subsidize the process. would i pay to go see it... NO. you think this is cruel? I spent an afternoon at my friends cattle ranch in coalinga ca... not a pretty site... brutal in fact... time is money and they dont waste a second killing that animal so one can go through a drive through and get some cooked animal meat whenever you want... most people dont like to think of the actual process of life...

usabodyguard Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 its not about where the cow has to go... if you ate in restuarants your whole life, and then someone put you in the jungle to survive, you would need some sort of base line to get by... by letting them kill their food instead of having it put in their food bowls, it gives them a head start... is it cruel, sure, would i do it? no... but if they really want to get them back into the wild there has to be some sort of learning curve... do you have a better solution? you say that the cow dies a horrible death... what do you think happens hourly in the congo? hey it could be worse... they could be running a tiger fighting operation like that loser POS Michael Vick with dogs...

wody Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 for me its not a big deal if they want to feed them a live cow BUT to tape and make money off of it is wrong. they should feed all those people on that bus to the tigers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Silv Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 how are the tigers hunting when the cow has no place to go. its not like the cow has a chance to run and get away like in the wild. theres no teaching going on there my friend. and killing the cattle is a necessity in life. it is quick and painless to the cattle when they die. it has no comparision to what the chinese are doing at that zoo. the cows just die a horrible death. i read that sometimes the tigers will wound the cow severly and then wait untill it dies a half an hour to an hour later, and then eat it. thats just wrong. I agree with you, I am a little soft when it comes to animal cruelity. My friend works for a slaughter house and when they kill the cow before being butchered, the cow is killed instantly, not a slow death such as shown in the video. But we are talking about a different country, when it illegal here is legal there. BTW, those tigers are f'n huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSS04 Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 (edited) first of all, do you think tigers hunt domestic cows in the wild? since when have you seen on the discovery channel, tigers running down a cow? cow isn't in the tigers natural diet over there. sure it's meat and it's just food for the tiger, but imagine the domestic cow seeing tigers for the first time in it's life and then just getting devoured by them, and then people laughing and cheering when the cow in being torn up. you gotta agree thats just not right.

Black2003SS Posted July 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 As a hunter, I guess I take a different approach on this one. I for one dont "play" with my kill either, and niether does a tiger really. Since tigers dont have firearms, they HAVE to tackle their food, and you can see clearly the one tiger figures out to go for the neck and break it...the cow died at the point. I look at it like being very interesting to see how a tiger feeds...National geographic films whales eating sea lions and playing with them like volleyballs, NG films lion and tigers hunting prey in the wild, I dont see the difference. Maybe your right, they shouldnt have dumped the cow out of a truck like that, but what if they let the cow go in the pen, or raised it up on a platform from underneath or pushed it out of a gate on the side into the holding pen? I would probably watch because it is nature, all man did was speed it up a little bit. I will only concede that it may be slightly on the blood thirsty side of things to want to pay to watch, but its not like you can take a bus load of people out onto the wild plains in africa and let them see this first hand... Side note...I used to work at Bass Pro Shops...we had a 100,000 gallon aquarium (maybe bigger, it had a waterfall and was 7ft deep and at least 50' wide and 10' accross) with walleye, pike, muskie, bass (both large and small mouth), pan fish etc. Everyday there were feeding times...The caretaker would toss whole LIVE white sucker fingerlings (about 2-6 inches in length) into the aquarium...did they have a fighting chance? Are you kidding me? Hundreds of people would gather to watch the carnage unfold...kids and adults...I dont see the difference even if it is something that happens in the water. We also would toss the muskie a whole rainbow trout and watch him hunt it, kill it, and eat it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSS04 Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 (edited) but its not like you can take a bus load of people out onto the wild plains in africa and let them see this first hand... thats why there's the discovery channel. and feeding fish at bass pro is completely different then this. thats the fishes natural pray that they are feeding them. and once in the tank, the fish gets to hunt it down like in its normal habitat. it's nothing like throwing a domestic cow to a bunch of hungry tigers while people get amazed by all the blood and gore.

Black2003SS Posted July 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 I really dont see the difference between the domestic cow, or the sick weak unable to defend itself gazelle...Clarify for me, are you upset by everything or just the fact that they let people watch it?

So you would have felt better about it if they had tossed out a Wildabeast instead of the Cow? The kill did not bother me to much aside from the cheering people.

BlackSS04 Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 (edited) This will clarify it for you! I agree with what these people are saying: "The Siberian Tigers in China are a rare species of tigers. These tigers look beautiful in the wild and not in the wildlife park. It is totally inhuman for anyone to WANT to watch a poor helpless cow shiver at the sight of these tigers. How would any human feel if some other creature ridicules him when he is voraciously eating? The tigers in the park are not capable of hunting for themselves unlike the tigers in the wild; they depend on man entirely to feed them. It becomes monotonous for the tiger to feed only on chicken and cows; these creatures are better off in the wild where they can hunt on a variety of preys. Breeding Siberian tigers does not entitle the zoo to get the right of changing their habitat. It’s high time the Chinese Government to realize that the Siberian tigers must be returned to the wild. Feeding of live animals to the tigers makes the park wealthy but not the poor tigers. WSPA is playing a major role in saving the Siberian tigers." "I am very much surprised to see this kind of horrid show. We can accept this fact that in the wild, the tigers prey on other weaker animals - such as wild buffalo, deer, boar etc. The preys are adapted to the wild life. Even they have the chance of escaping predators' grip. But dropping a domestic cow in front of ferocious tigers is a barbaric pratice. The poor cow has no where to go. And this is not done once but five times a day. And not only cows, but ducks. chickens etc, Forcefully the tigers are made to kill just to entertain those ignorant chinese. I fail to understand - HOW THE CHINESE TOURISTS ARE ENJOYING THIS ? IT SEEMS THEY ARE FROM JUNGLE ITSELF. UNCOUTH AND UNEDUCATED. ITS REALLY SQUALID !!! The zoo authorities should be sued on first hand and should be given rigorous punishment, This should be stopped at once." "Siberian Tigers are endangered species, they are native to china, mongolia and russia, yes you are right they do hunt as do all wild animals. A siberian tigers diet consists of boar and certain varieties of deer. I have never seen a wild cow or chicken roaming around these parts though have you? All wild animal have hunting insticts there is no need for them to be "taught" These chinese zoo are implying that this is to help them back into the wild!! they are actually making this a sport within the zoo, If they have to charge visitors to purchase these cows and chickens, then the "zoo" should close if they cannot afford to keep running" "The issue is not that the tigers are eating other animals (of course they should eat other animals). The issue is that the way they are being fed is unnatural. Those poor cows are just deposited into the tigers' area five times a day. In the wild, tigers only hunt when they're hungry. So when they're overfed, they don't actually end up killing the cow; they just maul it, because it's been dumped in front of them. And the now pain-stricken cow has to lie there, feebly bellowing as it dies a slow and painful death, while the Chinese people laugh and cheer. I fail to see what's funny. I also don't think it's funny that they're given live chickens and ducks with which to taunt the tigers. Is it really considered good sport to rub and hold a chicken against wire that's holding back a manic tiger? The chickens were squawking in protest, clearly distressed, and yet the Chinese people continued to laugh and jeer, before shoving them into the tiger's waiting claws. It's disgusting."
