Officers Kill Escaped Tiger in Florida "Bobo was shot and killed Tuesday when officials say it lunged at a wildlife officer who was trying to capture it. But Sipek, who developed a soft spot for jungle beasts after playing Tarzan in B-movies decades ago, said he doubted the tiger had to be killed. He said he would have been able to coax the tiger to safety if officers had called him to the scene before shooting it. "Murder is the word," Sipek said. "They murdered a poor helpless animal that only looked ferocious, as any tiger would, but Bobo had a heart of gold." "I kept my word, except I failed yesterday, trusting people," he said. He said wildlife officials were laughing after the shooting. story.news.yahoo.com Pretty pathetic...and these guys call themselves wildlife officers?
