Tiger mauls dumbass really schoopid woman at Dublin zoo
 DUBLIN - A young woman was recovering in hospital on Wednesday after being mauled by a tiger at Dublin Zoo.
| Tigers -- why do they regard us as food? |
| Because we're crunchy and taste good with ketchup |
The woman and a man, believed to be in their late teens or early 20s, scaled several safety barriers on Tuesday afternoon in an attempt to reach three Siberian tigers in their compound, and finally reached a heavy-mesh fence next to the animals.
| "Hey Liam, Kate, hold our ales and watch this!" |
She pushed her hand through and the tiger reacted as any tiger would and bit her, a zoo spokeswoman said. After receiving first aid, the woman was rushed to hospital by ambulance and underwent emergency surgery on her arm.
| She'll be forever known as 'Lefty Linda' in the Irish drinking ballads ... |
I think she was quite lucky to be able to pull back because normally tigers hold on, said zoo director Leo Oosterweghel. The couple were carrying alcohol in soft drink bottles, so we can make the assumption their judgment was impaired, he added.
| Leo talks like he's seen this once or twice in his life ... |
