Chile zoo kills lions to protect suicidal man in their cage - Polidicks

I said face consequences and be held responsible. That's not outright "punishment". Consequences can also be receiving mandatory mental health counseling. [editline]23rd May 2016[/editline] The thing is, when you say that a mentally ill person can't be held responsible for endangering other people, you start setting a dangerous precedent. Regardless of whether or not responsibility ends in actual jail time or fines (that's a thing to be determined by a mental health physician), you can't absolve him of responsibility entirely. He deliberately put other people in danger with his actions. He put the animals in danger. He cannot be held above reproach entirely.

Read the thread maxima, he's not depressed he's a loony

Nothing better than animal supporters pushing their anti-zoo arguments with this They basically give zero shits about the man who tried to kill himself but insead of why zoo's still exist

[QUOTE=Fox Powers;50379373]Nothing better than animal supporters pushing their anti-zoo arguments with this They basically give zero shits about the man who tried to kill himself but insead of why zoo's still exist[/QUOTE] To be fair, look at the enclosure that the lions are in. Concrete. Granted that's not a full view of the enclosure, but what we can see doesn't exactly imply that this is a quality and ethical zoo.

[QUOTE=sb27;50368079]Tbh if I were a lion living in that kind of enclosure (concrete!), I'd want to be shot. I wonder how the suicidal man now feels that his selfishness has caused the death of two lions though.[/QUOTE] Did the man commit suicide by lion, or did the lions commit suicide by cop?

Should've shot the dude.

[QUOTE=Fox Powers;50379373]Nothing better than animal supporters pushing their anti-zoo arguments with this They basically give zero shits about the man who tried to kill himself but insead of why zoo's still exist[/QUOTE] Pretty sure there was only one post here saying that

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;50381304]Pretty sure there was only one post here saying that[/QUOTE] we are saying it because in every fucking report about this (in chile of course), most people are bashing the zoo, and supporting the ban on zoos, [I]just like Costa Rica![/I]

[QUOTE=joshuadim;50372254]Just because I show my anger to this guy doesn't mean I hate/wish ill upon everyone who has a mental illness. I have friends who are bipolar, epileptic, (formerly) bulemic, etc.[/QUOTE] I hope your epileptic friends mental illness's don't culminate in them having seizures near harmless animals.

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;50381304]Pretty sure there was only one post here saying that[/QUOTE] I wasn't talking about people here, but about people in here specially in Facebook (pretty sure news site's comment sections are full of these)

[QUOTE=karlosfandango;50385021]I hope your epileptic friends mental illness's don't culminate in them having seizures near harmless animals.[/QUOTE] There's a bit of a difference between intentionally trying to kill yourself by jumping into a lion's den and having an uncontrollable seizure.
