Cops needlessly kill tiger

by Meyer London Friday, Feb. 25, 2005 at 10:02 PM

Cop violence spreads from shooting down people to shooting down animals who pose no threat.

So the "authorities" were "compelled" to shoot a tiger which had become used to humans and had roamed around for days without harming anyone. They rejected outright the offer of a wildlife rescue organization to coax the animal into a cage, and also claimed that they could not shoot it with a traquilizer dart because it was "a few hundred yards from a school." Of course it apparantly never occurred to them that if the tranquilizer didn't work in time and the tiger started moving towards the school they could have shot it then with a gun. Nah. And of course we are not told whether the cat was ever walking or running towards the school in the first place or whether any students were outside the building. Or whether they contacted the school to make sure everyone stayed inside until the tiger was tranquilized. Why do any of that stuff when there is a chance for quick and deadly violence to end the situation and give you something to brag about back at the station?Why do I have this feeling that an "escaped mental patient" would have received much the same treatment?

Now some Police Officer is just get his Jolly's off from shooting some animal? I guess this Officer just woke up in the morning praying for the opportunity to kill a tiger. How about spending your time bashing a real animal abusers or doing something usefull like choking to death.

Meyer would perhaps prefer we wait until he ate some little kid. Well, as long as the kid was Jewish, anyway.

How many Pig fuc*ers does it take to make one zionist squeal?

Answer: as many as it takes to create both sides of a thread - one.

Have fun but remember to wash your hand.

More information

by Meyer London Thursday, Mar. 03, 2005 at 12:57 AM

The animal was loose in Ventura County, north of Los Angeles. It had apparantly been roaming around for about a week, the local "authorities" had been tracking it without success - they weren't even sure if it was a lion or a tiger. One thing is for sure - the animal had not harmed anyone; in fact it had been declawed. And no one was in danger when the noodle brains shot it to death - there certainly were not any "little kids" around to be eaten. There was a perfect opportunity to tranquilize and save this tired and frightened animal who also happpened to belong to an endangered species. But oh, no, shooting it was so much more macho. The Ventura County local government has been hit with a storm of protests and the Los Angeles Times has been deluged with letters denouncing the killing, so perhaps the animal didn't die in vain and our local heroes will think a moment before pulling the trigger the next time. Or, even better, take some really dangerous creatures away to where they can't hurt anyone, by retiring to some remote retirement facility for rednecks - no firearms allowed.

advice for Tony

by Meyer London Thursday, Mar. 03, 2005 at 1:02 AM

Sounds like you need a little rest for your fevered little brain. Why don't you visit the zoo and stick your head inside the jaws of a tiger? Or maybe just refrain from accusing other people of being Jew-haters without any evidence. Since you have so much confidence in the Ventura County authorities, I suggest that maybe you should buy a bear suit or a Bigfoot outfit and run through the woods there - surely they won't shoot if they think the whole stunt might be a prank.

declawed?

by Moe Ron Venturii Thursday, Mar. 03, 2005 at 3:04 AM

declawed only means the puttytat can't scratch you, but he can surely EAT YOU!!

He was only on the loose a week? I bet there's missing dogs&cats in the area.

All that was missing was brains and a heart among the macho gun-toters. The same things that are missing with you.

remembering the tiger

by Meyer London Friday, Mar. 04, 2005 at 12:28 AM

Some animal rights groups are talking about building a memorial to the tiger on the spot where the sadistic numbskulls killed it in Ventura County. Who knows, maybe the memorial will still be there decades after a tsunami carries Ronnie Reagan's casket out to the Pacific Ocean.

Police don't care, nor should they

by Cops are tards Friday, Mar. 04, 2005 at 6:25 AM

Cops are tards, but paid gun s are just doing a job. It's their ass if the tiger HAD eaten some dumb toddler. In this whiny society, pigs can't win, and so they shoot.

As for all whining about big daddy tiger:

You idiots don't spay and neuter your pets....as a result, thousands, if not millions, of stray dogs and cats are destroyed year after year after year. So Fuck You.

neutering

Too bad your parents didn't have themselves spayed and neutered, it would have saved society from listening to one more jackass.
