About the GrumpyQueen


A.K.A Gatekeeper

I love food, don't deprive me of it.

I'm not Princess, I'm Queen

I can be quite grumpy and when I am, I hide here, my dungeon for reflections, ramblings and ranting.

Whatever I write are opinions, and may not be the whole truth. Do not read it like the Gospel.

I hate as vehemently as I love
I already know I'm crazy, be my friend, it's safer

Different is not bad, just not the same as the rest

If you don't like me, it's probably mutual
But I'm nice, really :p

I'm a little bored and mad now so I shall rant about the stupid guy who jumped into the tiger's enclosure and got killed.



Some people are asking for the tigers to be put down.



And what did the poor tigers do, may I ask?



And whoever asked the stupid guy to jump into their enclosure?



I read the guy was a little unstable before he died. Yes, it is unfortunate he died because of a problem deemed "unsolvable" by him. But why are we punishing the tiger for reacting the way a tiger should act?


How should we protect our species from being eaten up by tigers in the zoo? Can we pluck out all of the tiger's teeth and train the tiger to be vegetarian?

Or perhaps, we make the tiger go to school la! Make it take university degree and teach it right and wrong.

*rolls eyes*


If this guy jumped from a block of HDB flats, are we gonna blow up that block of flats? If he used a flowerpot/stool/bench outside someone's flat to help him in the jump, should we charge the owner of the flowerpot/stool/bench for murder and hang them?




If he bought rat poison to poison himself, do we hunt the shopkeeper down and charge him?



Today someone jumped into a tiger's enclosure and died. We put the tigers down. Fine.



Tmr someone jumps into the bear's enclosure and gets killed. Bears get put down.



Next week someone jumps into the path of an elephant and gets trampled to death. Put elephants down.



What will become of the zoo? Are we gonna have dogs, cats and hamsters in our zoos only?

It's not even about the zoo not having enough "protocols for safety." Remember what I said about having idiot proof SOPs in place? Some idiot will always manage to fall between the cracks.

I say it's most unfortunate this guy and so many others commit suicide in one way or another. But it's even more sad society doesn't go to the root cause but punishes some innocent being in a desperate attempt to make ourselves feel as if we're doing something about it.
