Woman attacked by jaguar at an Arizona zoo

1. Stupid, pure liberal lunatic.

2. Play stupid games…

3. I’m so happy the Jaguar wasn’t euthanized

4. 😂😂

5. Bypasses barriers that separate us from dangerous, wild cats.
   Attempts to take a selfie but gets mauled instead.

   Surprised Pikachu face

6. Hardest lessons are learned once, if you survive.

7. Wow, I'm glad she went back to apologize. She had Harambe in her thought..

8. zoos should be outlawed. Go gawk at your parents.

9. It was the lady's fault! Not the damn jaguar! She's stupid for crossing the barrier when she isn't suppose to. She obviously was a threat to the Jaguar. The Jaguar probably was okay from the distant from being viewed but DEFINITELY not beside the cage or near the cage where it can get you since its consider there territory. If she was smart enough and knew how territorial and unpredictable these creatures are, she wouldn't of gotten hurt. This makes me angry.

10. She deserved it thats why she shouldnt be crossing the barriers if. Temporary pain can stop you then so be it

11. It’s your own fault. It’s never their fault. You are not one of them. That’s how they see it. Animals do good and bad things sometimes just like humans

12. what a dumb bitch

13. SERVES. YOU. RIGHT.

14. I would have shot the jaguar so no one else would get hurt

15. These comments are so petty

16. ITS A FKNG ANIMAL, WHAT DO U THINK ITS GONNA DO LICK UR HAND, NO ITS GONNA TRY TO KILL U FKNG IDIOT,

17. Lol we don’t give a shit cus your an idiot

18. ITS NOT A JAGUAR ITS A PANTHER

19. This story gets sadder, the Jaguar was heard by some bystanders shouting "This is MAGA country!" before attacking the victim.

20. Woman (may i take a selfie with you?)

    Jaguar (free country)

21. Harambe has been averaged

22. This lady was an idiot

23. 😂 stupid

24. What a dumb ass !

25. Dumb bitch.

26. Well honestly not being mean or anything but she was at a zoo and she did jump a barrior that was put there to keep people at a safe distance from the big cat. Glad she owned up to it being her fault. N way to go zoo. They did the right thing letting it live.

27. That is one beautiful cat.
    I can understand the temptation to get close.
    I can't understand the disrespect tho.

28. darwinism at work

29. Idiot.

30. After a woman was injured after crossing a barrier to take a selfie with a jaguar at an Arizona zoo, The Root negotiated an exclusive one-on-one interview with the jaguar.

    See that scary-ass black cat? That’s not a dry seal or some kind of deceptively cuddly anime…

     

    Michael Harriot: Hi, how are you? I want to thank you for taking some time out of your schedule to do this interview. What would you like to be called?

    Jaguar: I am M’yteatchu, princess of the great forest, mother of panthers, punisher of line-crossers, breaker of chains, destroyer of Beckies.

    But lately, everyone has been calling me Cat Turner.

    MH: M’yteacthu is a beautiful name. How did you wind up in a zoo?

    CT: Well, I was stolen from the motherland years ago when the white man came and enslaved us. I’ve been held in captivity since then, trying to set my people free.

    MH: So tell me about the attack from your perspective. What was it like to …

    CT: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Attack? What “attack”?

    First of all, I was chilling at home when some white lady broke in. What would you do if someone came into your house with a weapon? This is a clear case of Stand Your Ground! She was armed and attacking me!

    MH: She had a weapon? All the news reports say she was unarmed. All she had was a camera.

    CT: It may look like a camera to you, but you have to look at it from my perspective. I could only see that she was reaching for something black and shiny and I had to make a split second decision. How was I supposed to know that it was an iPhone? I’m a jaguar, not a firearms expert.

    Plus, You don’t know how it is on this side of the thin blue line.

    MH: Thin blue line?

    CT: Yes. The zookeepers painted a bunch of lines in front of my cage.

    MH: Oh, you mean the words: “Danger! Do Not Cross.” Those are words. And that color is red, not blue.

    CT: Well, part of this anti-jaguar, human supremacist system is that they keep us down by giving us an inferior education. The schools here are terrible, so I never claimed to be very good at reading or knowing my colors. Maybe I struggle with literacy because, again …

    I’m. A. Jaguar.

    MH: So when you saw the woman, what was the first thing you thought?

    CT: I feared for my life.

    You have to understand the environment I grew up in. I’m from the West Side of Wakanda, so I was raised to defend my borders from Caucasians. I was literally born into the Black Panther Party for Self Defense. Even when I talk to my other homeboys around here—the lions, tigers and bears (please don’t say it) all have terrible stories about what happened when they let white people get too close. I see it on the news every day.

    MH:Do you watch TV?

    CT: Yes, they give us basic cable here. I mostly watch Animal Planet, the History Channel and the NFL Network.

    MH: Wow, that’s a really diverse list of viewing.

    CT: Not really. They all show the same thing—animals trying to kill other animals.

    MH: Oh. So what happened next?

    CT: Well, first I looked around to see if this was some kind of joke. I’ve heard that white women often overstep their boundaries, but I didn’t know they did it literally. I was raised to not allow anyone to disrespect my cathood like that. I thought: “You must not know who the fuck I am!” Then I yelled “Brooklyyynnn!” and pounced on her ass.

    MH: Wait … I thought you said you were from Wakanda. Why did you yell “Brooklyn?”

    CT: “Wakanda” has too many syllables.

    Also, when I was at the Bronx Zoo, dudes used to scream that all the time when they punched someone for stepping on their Timberlands. I just assumed it means “watch out motherfucker.” My English isn’t very good. I may have neglected to mention it but:

    I’m. A. Jaguar.

    MH: Did you feel bad about injuring her?

    CT: No, it felt great. I haven’t hunted in such a long time, it felt good to get some cardio in. They say pouncing is great for the glutes. It was really exciting. Besides, what did she think was going to happen? I wanted to show “those people” what happens in real life when you fuck with jaguars.

    MH: Who specifically do you mean by “those people?”

    CT: I mean “people.”

    I wasn’t even trying to kill her, I just wanted to make sure she wasn’t trying to colonize my cage. I’ve heard what happen when “those people” move into your neighborhood. First, they destroy the property value and then violence starts. They tear down the forest. They kill the vegetation. They start wars.

    We jaguars usually bite the throat, but I was literally trying to disarm her. I couldn’t get it out of the socket though, so I left her alone. She should be glad that I don’t really eat white meat like that. She wasn’t really seasoned right, either. She tasted like asparagus and spin class.

    MH: So what happened afterward?

    CT: Well, all the leopards and lions have been trying to holla at me since it happened, but I told them I have a man. I got a lot of street cred. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored Panthers (NAACP) Legal Defense Fund has agreed to represent me if I’m charged with a crime. We are also considering filing defamation lawsuits against the people who say I “attacked” someone.

    The mainstream media portrays us like we only commit jaguar-on-jaguar violence, but the truth is, when you see those National Geographic documentaries of big cat fights, those are mostly taken on nature preserves where they have kept us segregated for years. And when they see us in their neighborhoods, they call the police on us.

    That’s why you never see a jaguar in Starbucks or cooking out at Oakland parks. They love to watch us run, jump or fight, but when was the last time you saw a group of leopards just chilling at Applebee’s? Everyone loves kitten videos and Winnie-the-Pooh sidekicks shucking and jiving, but they fear a real Tigger. They want us all dead or locked up behind bars.

    So everyone seems to understand my main reason for doing it.

    MH: What was your main reason? Freedom? Revolution? Liberty?

    CT: No, dummy, it’s because I’m a jaguar!

    MH: Oh, right. So what’s next for you?

    CT: Mostly the same stuff. You know, chilling out. Doing some periodic pouncing. Trying to bite the hand that feeds me. I’m teaching a cage-defense class on Thursdays. Maybe start a chapter of Black Cat Lives Matter.

    I’m also considering a televised interview with Gayle King. After that R. Kelly interview, she’s probably the only person who can keep their composure around me.

    MH: Well it was nice talking to you M’yteatchu. Is there anything you’d like to say to your fans?

    CT: Yes, I’d like to send a shout out to my cousin Killmonger, who inspired me to do this. This was for all my people who have been wronged by a white woman, from Emmett Till to Amy Klobuchar’s Senate st

    To my white people, before you cross the next boundary, remember what Nat Turner said: “Many of them are filled with fury and the unctuous coating of flattery which surrounds and encases that fury is but a form of self-preservation.”

    MH: Was he talking about Jaguars?

    CT: Not quite

31. That’s a panther not a Jaguar

32. The man had a “Black Rifle Coffee Company” shirt on! Awesome!

33. Dumb bitch…well deserved

34. How do you keep on dropping your kids into enclosures? Geez

35. I wish I could’ve been there, so that I’d be able to laugh at this person’s stupidity in person. Number 1 rule with big cats: NEVER turn your back to them. And more importantly, don’t take “selfies” with any wild animal. I witnessed a similar moronic move at Yellowstone, when a woman tried to sneak up behind a bison to get a picture of it. She severely startled the 1500 lb. animal, and it nearly charged her. And if she had been gored by it, I would’ve said the same thing as I will for this person. They deserve it. That might seem like a harsh statement, but if you are stupid enough to turn your back against a jaguar enclosure that clearly has openings in it, then you deserve what’s coming to you. This idiot is just lucky that it went after her arm and not her jugular.

36. The jaguar was listening to too much tekashi 69

37. That’s what she gets for provoking that beautiful animal . Glad the animal isn’t gonna have to die for her stupidity .

38. Humans r the biggest dumbest living things on this planet!!

39. I think the Jaguar saw her tramp stamp and knew she was easy to get

40. Leave these animals in the wild. Should of ate her stupid ass.

41. I'm surprised this didnt happen in Florida:(

42. Dang she is stupid just for a selfie that's why people are stupid

43. This woman’s got the intelligence of an amoeba, shes right up there with grizzly man.
