    The next time you're at the zoo, and the guy at the ticket booth tries to sell you a ticket for the "water park & petting zoo" it's most likely a scam, don't fall victim to it.

    I saw the video. It actually shows her wading through the water smiling...until she was mauled.

    She actually jumped in there. I hope she was heavily fined.

    And why don't they have a fence up?

    Every day on the internet, my faith in humans' stupidity is restored.

    They have a fence up, and have said they're not changing anything about their security. Here's what CNN has

    She looks like she could have given it a go, if she knew it was coming.

    I had a friend who had an "incident" at the Pittsburgh Zoo.. We were kinda lost driving around, and we see this little parking area with a green fence, head high and then some.. He has to pee, so we park in the lot, he scales the fence and takes a leak. I swear to god, he gets in the car, we back out and I point at this sign in front of a car that was down the lot two or three cars "Pittsburgh Zoo Employees parking only"

    We drove about 10 feet, and TIGER right where he was. LOL

    Stupid, like the boys in San Fransisco were drunk taunting a tiger, cost the life of one boy and the tiger because of human stupidity. :(

    People who think animals have human emotions are asking for trouble. Like the chimps, another sad incident.

    They should leave Mr. Darwins people alone. :-D

    Don't underestimate a sick person. Perhaps she'll find a less painful way this time.;)

    Maybe they should have signs like this up in places.. But it wouldn't help most of these idiots anyhow.

    At the zoo here in town a tiger mauled a guest a year or so ago. There was a huge scandal about it and all sorts of clamoring about increasing security until security camera footage revealed that the woman who got mauled had been poking the tiger repeatedly with a long tree branch, until the big, big, BIG male adult tiger had enough, grabbed the branch and yanked her right smack up against the bars of his cage, and took a swipe at her.

    There was no sympathy for her from the public after that. If you poke a fully grown tiger with a tree branch for several minutes, you deserve what you get... rolleyes

    Every time I hear about one of these, my first thought is always "well, if you weren't a complete idiot this wouldn't have happened". Seriously. They're wild animals. Do not screw with them. They are in cages for a reason. If you're too stupid to know you shouldn't scale a fence in a zoo, then you deserve what you get.

    Unfortunately, common sense isn't.

    Every time I hear/see/read about another act of sheer stupidity by a member of the human race; I think of Bill Engvall and the "Here's your sign" skit.

    If they had been wearing a sign, I could have stopped them. Really, we need to start making them wear a sign that has "I'm STOOPID!!!" printed in large DayGlo letters. That way when their eyes glaze over and they get that grin on their face, we know they are about to do something STOOPID and can stop them.
