This is very sad, but a tiger shouldn't be killed for being a tiger. And I'm betting the keeper would have felt the same way.

Tigers shouldn't be "kept"... period.

This was my very first thought when I heard of the tragedy ; what have they done to the tiger ? I imagine that if this had happened a few years ago they would have euthanised the mite.

This is also just another sad example proving that animals should be left in their natural environment ; the wilderness.
