China Chronicles: Tigers Lions and Bears! eek

[Gus Orviston]

I was going to save this post until I had pictures to go with it, but an article in the paper put water on my fire. :depressed:

In the wild animal park here in Shanghai you ride buses through the preserve. At one stop you can buy live chickens to feed the Tigers and Lions . Your live bait is tied to hook outside your window, and the bus then drives into the Tiger area and you get ready for the show :lurk:.

Of course the obvious happens and the Tigers come to the bus and rip the chickens down. Apparently it is pretty intense and wouldn't have taken the kids from the stories I have heard.

Well, last week apparently a tiger missed its mark and went at the window (investigation showed somebody on the bus had raw meet too which had becoming a problem) The window was knocked out and the Tiger got an arm into the bus, the catastrophe was averted by the quick reacting bus driver when he sped a way

There isn't much of a though about liabilty here, if you lived here for a while you would begin to appreciate the protections afforded US citizens. Good arguement material for Bobofish on the Hug and attorney thread.

cheers bobo.

I saw the title of the thread and figured you talked the chineese into putting a couple different animals on their calendar this year.

Have you been to the Eiffel tower yet?

I was thinking lawyers for the Tigers instead of the chickens , at least they would have some value.
