RE: Tigers escape SF Zoo, maul several people, 1 dead
I am happy for firstninja because he has a hot girlfriend, and sad for the tiger that got killed. It is ironic that we hold dangerous animals captive, and kill them when they do something that is only natural for them.
People should takes responsibility for this, not the animal. Tigers, one notch closer to extinction because man cant handle the beast. I know how the tigers feel!

It could easily be argued that the captive tigers are safer than the ones that roam wild. Tigers aren't close to extinction because they're held in captivity. They're close to extinction due to poachers hunting them to that brink. Yes, the tigers were only doing what comes natural to them, but that doesn't mean they should be allowed to continue to kill people unchecked.
As a side note, wars aren't started by religion. Wars are started by people. I can speak for Christianity at least when I say that God doesn't advocate war in His name. In fact, the exact opposite. It's people who misinterpret and/or twist the bible's words to their own end. Hitler claimed Christianity, but that doesn't make him one. None of his twisted ideas or actions were condoned in the bible. He did what he did because he was an evil man, not because of religion.

ill name several wars that started cuz of the word religion. Hell any war that isreal is in is a religous war. hell Ireland is at war with each other. the cathloics and the protestants. Same freaking religion. the shiite muslums and the sunni muslims. God doesnt want war. But War is started cuz of the differnt religions and ppl misinterpiting their scriptures. Hell the revolutionary war religion was a big factor in it.

Those are wars started by people and continued by tradition. Just because people use religion as an excuse for war doesn't mean they NEED religion as an excuse. It's as arbitrary as the Butter Battle Book by Dr. Seuss. Any reason will do for many people.
