Critically endangered tiger fatally shot at Florida zoo after biting man’s arm

They should have shot the man instead of the tiger, or more humanely put him in jail.
How can anybody in their right mind decide to shoot a tiger because it behaves as a tiger?
Reminds me of that incident with the gorilla. Stupid people doing stupid things and the animals pay the price.
Hopefully he can be sued for breach of the contractual terms for his services.
He will be, probably for trespassing.
Why is this animal endangered in the first place? Has nothing to do with the young man.
I thought Florida has a "stand your ground" law. Wouldn't that apply here? Just put the tiger in jail. Oh, wait...
He is a twenty-something who is a cleaner who works something close to minimum wage. What would suing accomplish? The square root of nothing.
He kind of made the situation worse for an endangered animal, which is the point people are trying to make. What he did was total stupidity and not necessary.

The tiger clamped down on his arm, leaving the worker screaming out in pain: 'Please help me! Please help me!' Deputies attempted to free the man but ultimately shot the cat so it would retreat.

A warning shot may very well have distracted the tiger.Video shows Florida cop shoot dead tiger that seized zoo cleaner's arm

5 seconds more would not have made any difference to the attacked man.

That's a very expensive kill!
The Malay tiger will go extinct due to their range being converted to palm oil production. It's not just the Malay tiger being slaughtered by human activity.

5 seconds of anything painful can seem like a long time. Getting your arm chewed off by a Tiger might be an example. Getting your dick chewed off by an angry monitor lizard..... However. I would have been rooting for the Tiger. Poor animal didn't ask to be there.
The only other viable option other than shooting the tiger is to distract it by shooting/ distracting it with a ( or multiple ) fire extinguishers. Of course with cops standing by with guns drawn.
