Bengal Tiger Killed In Georgia

worldanimalnews.com/heartbreaking-news-bengal-tiger-shot-killed-police-georgia/

We're headed to Georgia for our latest story involving a tiger that was shot dead by police this week. Suzy, a bengal tiger that was recently released from the Ringling Brothers Circus, was shot and killed near an Atlanta highway after police describer her as being aggressive towards house pets. They also stated that it was done quickly and humanely. I hate that statement.

What the story fails to mention is what happens to the driver of the truck transporting these animals? He is reported as saying that he couldn't figure out how she got out and had no idea she had escaped. What does this say about his obvious mistake in not securing the vehicle properly? Is he accountable? Is the company he works for accountable? How does this work?

I think what crushes me the most about this story is the fact that this poor tiger was only recently freed from Ringling Brothers and a life of forced performances. She hadn't even begun to have her taste of freedom before having it all ripped away. She spent her final moments likely terrified and confused before being shot and killed, it's absolutely heartbreaking!

I desperately want answers! Obviously the police will suggest that this was the only option which it may very well have been but then who is responsible for this tiger's loss of life?

What it boils down to is the driver of the vehicle and his company. How in the hell is a tiger able to escape a vehicle unless there are extremely lackluster security measures being taken. This sort of thing is entirely preventable and that's what's most disturbing about it. THis gorgeous creature is slaughtered for a human's error.

It's my opinion that the driver and company should most definitely be fined. I also believe they should be forced to upgrade their security measures within an allotted time limit or face additional fines and potential charges. This is extremely negligent and now Suzy has paid the ultimate price.
