NBCnews- An intoxicated woman was bitten by a tiger after she broke into a zoo and tried to pet the animal, police said.
Jacqueline Eide, 33, reached into the predator’s cage after she allegedly entered Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Nebraska, early Sunday — just hours after Halloween. There was no merciful repeat of Daniel in the lions’ den, however, and Eide suffered a “severe trauma” to her left hand, the Omaha Police Department said in a statement. She was driven to hospital by a friend, where police said Eide was aggressive and showed signs of intoxication by alcohol or drugs. She was cited for criminal trespass and remained at the hospital for treatment Sunday.
The tiger involved was said to be an 18-year-old Malayan tiger called Mai, according to the zoo. The incident was still under investigation Sunday.
“Just in case you had any doubt … If you pet a tiger you will most likely get bitten,” the Omaha Police Department said on Facebook.

Well that’s the new bar I think. Honestly looking back at the past 100 years since the invention of alcohol and motor vehicles I’m surprised that every single person that drinks doesn’t end up dead the next morning because they drove drunk. I applaud that that, but the reason that is, is because we know where to set the bar. Its the last line of defense in your brain where something just tells you to not get that drunk so . Well we have Uber and metropolitan cities now where people don’t have to operate a moving death trap anymore. So now a new bar is set. We gotta tell a point in our brains to not get so drunk so as we don’t end up breaking the law of trespassing into a public zoo, because one thing leads to another. Soon enough you come out of a black out getting rushed to the ER because your left hand is mauled because guess what, you ended up trying to pet a vicious jungle cat with 3 inch teeth. Set the bar folks, it’ll save your life.
