A zookeeper in Japan has been mauled to death by a rare white tiger but the killer beast wont be put down at the urging of the victims family.

The victim, 40-year-old Akira Furusho, was found mortally wounded and bleeding from the neck from the Monday night attack inside the animals cage at the Hirakawa Zoological Park in the southern city of Kagoshima.

Furusho was rushed to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Officials sedated the male tiger named Riku with tranquilizers before authorities arrived on the scene.

The tiger will be kept alive at the request of the victims family, according to the BBC.

We plan not to kill Riku and continue to keep it because the bereaved family asked us to do so, zoo official Takuro Nagasako told the AFP.


If only Harambe was treated this way.

If you enter a tiger cage, isn't that a teensy-weensy bit of a risk?

I mean, what would have been the rationale behind destroying the tiger? "It could no longer be held safely in captivity"? Why, because it could no longer be trusted for a zookeeper to enter its cage safely? But could you really do that with any tiger?

What would killing the tiger even accomplish? I'm glad that family had good sense

I think the general idea is if they do it once they're likely to try doing it again.

It makes sense that the family of a zookeeper wouldn't want it put down. Nobody becomes a zookeeper because of the pay or the glamorous lifestyle. You do it because you really care about animals. I doubt the zookeeper would ever want the tiger to be put down.

On a side note: This is what white privilege looks like.</shitpost>

But I mean, that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. There's a reason they keep them caged up.

For real, it's a damn tiger. Every time you step in that cage you take a risk.
