Japanese Zoo Captures Furry!

March 22, 2010

– – As if furries didn’t get enough disrespect, a Japanese zoo in February practiced response to a tiger escape using…and I swear I am not making this up…a guy in a tiger suit!

A Tokyo animal park conducted the drill to train the zookeepers in emergencies such as a tiger escaping.  About 100 firefighters took part in the drill, together with police and one person in a tiger fursuit.    To his credit, the cute stunt tiger evaded authorities for minutes while zookeepers practiced taking shots with a tranquilizer gun and eventually capturing the ferocious furry.   He did knock one of them down, and they will probably remember him…this is, after all, the Year of the Tiger!
