Tiger mauls man at Calgary Zoo

A man is in hospital with serious injuries after being attacked by a tiger at the Calgary Zoo early Monday morning. Zoo staff says two men broke into the zoo around 1 a.m. and visited the tiger enclosure. After scaling a second fence, the two intruders were close enough to the tiger pen that two year old Vitali was able to snag one of the mens arms. Rick Donkers reports

October 9 update: There will be no criminal charges against two men, one of whom was mauled by a Siberian tiger, when they allegedly scaled a fence and entered the Calgary Zoo early Monday morning.
However, city police have charged each of the men with
trespassing under the Petty Trespass Act.
Staff Sgt. Rick Halford of District 3 General Investigative Unit said at a news conference on Friday that the men had been drinking and may have gone to the zoo to meet someone.
"They proceeded to the tiger enclosure, where they climbed
over the outer perimeter safety fence and approached the
exhibit fence," Halford said in a news release.

The are idiots! There is a reason they have fences. They not only deserved it, they should apologize to the zoo for irritating the tiger:)
