I am 100% all for people being attacked by wild animals. If you get close enough to a wild animal for it to attack you then you deserve to be chewed up and removed from the gene pool.

Beating up on wild animals? Well, thats just silly and sweet, sweet justice was served. I take no greater pleasure than hearing that the animals got one back. Kinda like this one, but I wish the panda had gotten more than this moron's jacket:

I'm holding a gun to your head:

Would you rather work as a Panda's keeper in a zoo or have a fat girlfriend?

As a keeper. Give me something sharp though.

I'm sorry. I admit it, though I was younger than 9 when I caught bees, pulled their wings off, and fried them under a magnifying glass. I sincerely hope that this has nothing to do with the current problem engulfing bee colonies. It was, after all, 38 years ago, so there's probably no connection. And I've felt really really bad about it ever since then.

I just thank God the impulse to torture animals left me before my nine-year-old compatriots thought that sticking a fire-cracker up a cat's butt would be great fun.

You'd think kids would be smarter than to mess with crocodiles. Especially Chinese ones.

Indeed. A grown man torturing a wild animal and getting killed by said animal is a fine candidate for a Darwin Award. A 9 year old being a typical kid probably doesn't deserve such a fate. I would not blame a 9 year old for his own death playing Rocket Boy in one of the many abandoned fridges you find here.

It's ok to provoke dangerous animals if you take precautions and do it for a good cause:

Quote:

The eye of the tiger, or perhaps more importantly the teeth, are a little too close for comfort.

But Arnd Drossel appears to have at least baffled the beasts, if not tamed them, with his spherical steel enclosure.

Arnd Drossel causes a stir in the tiger enclosure during his 220-mile charity roll in a ball of steel wire

The German performance artist turned the conventions of the zoo on their head by putting himself inside a cage and allowing the big cats to view him as a curiosity.

His stunt was one stop on a 220-mile roll through the German state of North-Rhine Westphalia to raise money for, and awareness about, psychiatric patients.

He accepts that some observers will judge him 'a stripe short of a tiger' for including this particular area of the Stukenbrock Safari Park on his route.

But he insists his protective capsule - 250 high-grade steel strands welded into something resembling a massive ball of wool - is strong enough to keep him safe. Drossel, 38, who designs furniture for a living when not suffering for his art, will eat, sleep and move in the ball.

He propels it by simply shifting his weight in a walking motion, and aims to cover 13 miles a day.

'I got the idea for this because, about a year ago, I hit a low and
realised how little help there was out there,' he said.

'I set about thinking of a way to publicise those who need pyschiatric help and came up with this.

'Basically, the whole concept is about finding the courage to do something and inspire courage in those who have lost their confidence along with much else.'

Psychiatric patients from clinics in the region helped him create the rolling globe and some were present to see Drossel roll into the tiger enclosure.

After his encounter with the cats he was trundling on through the state, aiming eventually to finish in his home town of Warburg on April 28.

Karl-Josef Laumann, the health minister for the state, is backing the stunt.

He said: 'Psychiatric patients are often stigmatised and ostracised in our society. This must change.'
