Seriously? Killed By a Siberian Tiger At the Zoo?

I sometimes think about death, when I'm driving through an ice storm; or when my chest is hurting and I think I'm having a heart attack when really it's just a cold or anxiety; or when I see a skin defect that I'm convinced must be terminal cancer. These are some of the ways I could see myself dying. But I think it's pretty safe to say that death by Siberian zoo tiger is not on my list of concerns.

Now, I don't want to really joke too much about this story since someone did lose their life, but when I heard of the fatal attack at the San Francisco zoo, I couldn't help but think what it would be like to lose a loved one to a zoo animal.

Death by car accident, slip and fall, boulder, stabbing, drowning... I could buy any of these, but if someone were to tell me, "Sir. Your wife got too close to the gorilla exhibit. We're sorry." I just... there's nothing you could do to convince me that this was the cause of death. It's too wild.
