The jaguar who attacked a woman taking a selfie won't be put down
Good news everyone: The jaguar who attacked a woman taking a selfie will live.
The woman reportedly crossed over a barrier near the jaguar enclosure at the Wildlife World Zoo in Arizona on Saturday to take a photo with the cats when one reached out and slashed her arm. Paramedics took her to a nearby hospital to treat the non life-threatening injuries, according to a statement from the zoo.
"Please understand why barriers are put in place," the zoo tweeted. "Sending prayers to the family tonight."
In the comments of a Fox 10 Phoenix video that showed the aftermath of the incident (content warning for gruesome imagery), Twitter users shamed the woman and threatened to boycott the zoo if they put the jaguar down.
Others thanked the zoo for protecting the jaguar, who was just trying to defend her territory.
According to AZ Central, the local Sheriff's has not yet said whether the woman would be charged or cited for crossing the boundaries.

Yes!!! Why would the animal be punished by simply being an animal? The human on the other hand should be heavily fined for being annoyingly stupid.
ReplyDeleteGood. Animals have suffered too many times for the faults of humans.
ReplyDeletewhy would anyone think that is necessary, it was the woman's fault entirely!!!! beautiful cat should be treated as the regal animal she is
ReplyDeleteactually I hope the zoo take the woman to court. crossing the barrier should be an offense. Even the idea that the jaguar in its very very small enclosure should be put down for intruders being attacked even killed is absurd
ReplyDeleteI know right? Putting an animal down cuz of human stupidity? Lol
DeleteActually animals are far social than humans. Its humans who are antisocial. So nature punishes them. Stop poking them for your pleasure.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear that! What about the woman? 😂
ReplyDeletehopefully they put her down.
DeleteGlad the zoo did not put this animal down. Why do people think it is a smart idea to go in these closed areas.
ReplyDeleteOh my god why would they even consider that?? There are rules put in place for a reason - it’s not the poor cat’s fault
ReplyDeleteso happy
ReplyDeleteWas there any Doubt? I hope not. She took the Chance and Lost. End of Story?
ReplyDeletePut the picture taking human down!
ReplyDeleteThis is from March, why are you posting it as if this is new?
ReplyDeleteThis level of entitlement and stupidity did not exist 50 years ago. What has changed?
ReplyDeleteI say take away all warning signs and warning labels and be let nature take its course!
It's a wild animal. Serves her right
ReplyDeleteTrespassing the animal kingdom comes with daring consequences
ReplyDeleteYAAAAAY !!!
ReplyDeleteDarwin theory of natural selection in action...
ReplyDeletegeezuz the amount of stupidity on her part is just befuddling. ain't the cat's fault if she ignored the signs. utterly devoid of anything resembling common sense. dumbarse.
ReplyDeleteThat's right up there with that silly woman who headed towards the lion the other day at the Bronx zoo. Some people just aren't wrapped too tight...
ReplyDeleteFinally some good news... Finally they will not kill an animal for doing what he is supposed to do... 😉
ReplyDeletefeed the woman to the jag lol
ReplyDeleteWas that even a consideration? So stupid. Of course it's not the cat's fault!
ReplyDeleteStupid is forever. Hopefully the jaguar has received counseling and a antibiotic shot just in case

ReplyDeleteCan't believe it was even considered
ReplyDeleteAnd the woman? Will she be put down?
