Gangus violence

Just read several versions of this news story about a woman who bled to death after being mauled by her boyfriend's pet tiger.

The image is from the guy's website. He runs a little exotic safari park in the B.C. interior, complete with three tigers—including Gangus, the Bengal that evidently went after his girlfriend.

The CBC version of the story says, "It's still unclear what will happen to the tiger." But we know what's going to happen to Gangus, don't we?

And that's too bad, because all the versions of this story are about the same thing: two animals. One is a perfect predator, honed by evolution into something designed to do precisely what it did to this woman. The other is a human being, the perfect prey. Evolution has made us smart enough to trap the predator in a cage, yet dumb enough to think that makes it tame.
