The tragedy at Yorkshire Wildlife Park has raised an important moral question, should a dangerous animal be killed when a human enters its enclosure? My view is simple. The animal's life should be preserved wherever possible. In this case, staff reportedly fired warning shots which scared the tiger away, ending the attack without having to kill it. Killing the tiger after the attack had ended would have achieved absolutely nothing. Those staff were facing a life or death situation, with seconds to make decisions and no benefit of hindsight. Under immense pressure, they did an incredible job trying to save the man's life whilst also preserving the life of the tiger. A man tragically lost his life, but killing another living creature unnecessarily would not have brought him back. You can value human life without believing an animal must die.
