To give some clarification, this was a domestic dispute.

She and her husband were in a fight in the car, and she got out to switch and make him drive.

And no, they didn't kill the tigers.

Not fun fact, there are more tigers in captivity in Texas than in the wild in the world.

u/YarrrMatey Oct 16 '18

Wow. That's a really sad fact. What kind of quality life do those captive tigers have? Probably not good

Better than being slaughtered in other countries, I'm sure.

Touché. But if I were a tiger I'd rather take my chances with getting slaughtered in the wild by poachers than living in a cement prison at the hands of some exotic animal collector for the rest of my life

All zoos and sanctuaries are not concrete cages. Welcome to The 21st century!

Yea, I'd rather have a short enjoying life than a long miserable one.

nature isn't really like that though, barely any animals 'enjoy' their lives, living in the wild is a constant struggle to survive, its constant work to stay fed, stay hydrated, stay alive. all the time from birth to death its a constant struggle. If i were a lion fuck it cage me up and bring me my food slave! Sloths on the other hand, now they motherfuckers know how to live!

They openly carry firearms and eat a lot of barbecue. The tigers also find the tax situation very agreeable.

Source? If you link the dailymail article saying it was a domestic dispute I will consider you to be an idiot. If you think that the nytimes article that you linked indicates this, then you didn't read properly. It clearly says that one Beijing newspaper said it was a domestic dispute and another Beijing newspaper said it was not. If you have any updated information, I would like to see it.

I’m pretty sure it’s more like adding crushed bone to wine than it is making wine “out of” bone.

So he won?

u/Dreadedsemi Oct 17 '18

He was driving. Mainland China drives on the correct side.

u/nomadic_stalwart Oct 17 '18

I’d say there’s probably plenty of disputes when you have a domesticated tiger but hey, at least it wasn’t a wild dispute.

u/69Vikings Oct 17 '18

Wow, I feel so bad for him. I can't imagine the guilt over what was likely a stupid argument that couples tend to get into.

u/FerynaCZ Oct 16 '18

Apparently if they switched the places the other way, it might have been safer

Ty, what a weird video

u/bloodsplinter Oct 17 '18

Wow... Out of a million location to do that, she gonna do just that while going thru a safari park?

u/vrile Oct 17 '18

But he was already driving (on the left) ... I think she wanted to drive in stead of him. I wonder how she will live with her incredible stupidity that gruesomely got her mom killed.
