Woman Tries to Touch Tiger After Climbing Over Zoo Fence

After scaling a wooden fence, a woman came face to face with an enormous Bengal tiger at a New Jersey zoo. Poking her fingers through the cage, she tried to touch the 500-pound animal. Suddenly, the tiger lunged forward and nearly bit the woman. The trespasser then jumped the fence and got out of there. The incident happened at the Cohanzick Zoo in Bridgeton. Now, police want to talk to the woman, saying she tried to entice the tiger.

So selfish to put the tiger at risk of having to be put down. So absurdly stupid.

Menacingly?! That tiger is a victim of home invasion 😕

I love how they reiterate the sign. Most people don’t need a sign to tell them not to climb into a tiger enclosure…most people.

But if animals fight back they kill the animal...smh

How could someone be that stupid? It's a tiger lady, not a kitty cat, it could rip your arm off in a second.

That tiger was like: "Girl, if you don't get your dumb ass out of here-"

Keep in mind, the tiger is doomed if she was bitten.

Someone give that poor tiger some comfort. Look how stressed the encounter made him 🥺

The sign should also say "Lost fingers and limbs will not be returned."

Q: What was she thinking?

A: Nothing.

The tiger is not menacingly pacing. The animal is NOT responsible 😢

She wanted to win the Darwin award at the expense of the tiger.

Woman: Can I touch you?
Tiger: Yes. IN MAH BELLY!!!

[gazoontight]

She is fortunate that she only has to deal with the human law. The tiger follows the law of the jungle, which is much more severe and much less forgiving.

Now if she died or was seriously injured her family would want to sue. This is just stupid.

Dumb dumb. We aren't the top of the food chain! Play stupid games win stupid prize!

That tiger was incredibly well behaved for as stressed as it clearly was.

When designing a fence, don't build one for normal people, but one for the mentally ill in mind.
