The tiger was shot and killed and the other 3 contained. News is preliminary but they are saying the victims were patrons not trainers. From http://cbs5.com/local/zoo.sf.tiger.2.617765.html Tiger Escapes Cage In SF Zoo, Kills One Visitor SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5) ― The San Francisco Police Department confirmed that a tiger escaped its confinement at the San Francisco Zoo, then attacked and killed a visitor. Two others were injured by the tiger that entered the Terrace Cafe inside the zoo at 5:15 p.m. The injured were taken to SF General Hospital. The escaped tiger was shot and killed. *edit* Almost exactly a year ago, there was another tiger attack at this same zoo. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/12/23/TIGER.TMP Edited By: DirrtyWaterDawg 12/25/2007 10:59 PM.

SAN FRANCISCO -- One person was killed and two others critically injured Sunday night after tigers broke loose from their cage and went on a rampage at the San Francisco Zoo. Authorities said they got a 911 call at 5:17 p.m. reportign that as many as four tigers had broken loose from the cages and were prowling the grounds. Heavily armed police officers and zoo officials began a frantic search, recapturing three and killing a fourth as it attacked a man. San Francisco Fire Department spokesman Lt. Ken Smith said at least one was killed when the tiger ripped open the person's throat. A critically injured man who had been mauled in the face was being protected and treated by emergency workers in a cafe. Another injured man -- apparently the brother of the other injured man -- was also being treated at San Francisco General Hospital. The zoo had been open until 5 p.m. for an event called the "Reindeer Romp," but the attack took place after the zoo had been closed for the day.

Poor Tiger but damn, poor innocent bystander.... I don't understand peoples mentality about animals. I love animals, but if that were my family member I'd kill that fucking Tiger myself.

A tranquilzer wouldn't work instantly though, the only thing that would work would be lethal force. And it's instantly needed when a tiger is in the process of killing someone, waiting for the sedation to kick in probably really wasn't an option.

That's really sad that they had to kill the tiger. I wonder what would have happened if all of them had attacked people. I think it's odd it went inside a cafe!

If a tiger is mauling the face of someone I love or care about, I want that thing shot dead. Tranquilizers aren't instantaneous. That's awful for those families.
