You are at the zoo. You are with your wife and child. You have on the well trained bat belt - semi in 9mm or greater, extra mag, quality HP rounds, OC, knives, cell phone, BUG.

As you go past the tiger cage, to your horror, you see the tiger start to munch and crunch the keeper.

Do you:

1. Take the shots through the bars in this dynamic situation
2. Try to spray the tiger if in range of your OC
3. Just make noise
4. Fire warning shots or nonlethal shots - like in the tiger's tushy -
5. Stand and watch
6. Call the cops
7. Take pictures to sell to the news.
8. Flee in terror with high pitched screams and then have an hysterical interview on the news.

Note in a similar situation in NYC, a cop actually killed a polar bear with a 38 SPL RNL years ago.

If you do shoot the tiger, what is your strategy for when animal lover's berate you?

I wouldn't shoot. The way my luck runs, I probably would have unknowingly walked up to a demonstration being put on by the zoo and killed their 1 female tiger right in front of a whole crowd. I would be villified by the media.

On the other hand, if the tiger made ravioli out of the zoo keeper and people asked why I didn't shoot, I would just say that I believed the tiger had a bad childhood (cubhood?), or it was lashing out at its oppressor, or that the tiger just needed love and understanding....that should make me a hero to the media.
