This zoo probably learnt from the mistakes with harambe that just killing the animal isn't right and people will not let it go.
But also, the Amur tiger is incredibly endangered. With around 400-600 of its species left.
Harambe was a western lowland gorilla that still has a population of over 300k (still low but nowhere near as low)
Aswell, different zoo, different zoo keepers, different time. Still tho i agree with not killing animals that are just living their life. If your dumb enough to jump into an enclosure with a dangerous animal then you kinda deserve the outcome
The main difference is that Harambe was shot to prevent him from further injuring the boy (which he was doing at the time, even if he didn't mean to).
The tiger killed the man before anyone could do anything about it. Had they had a chance to shoot the tiger before it killed the man, they most likely would have taken it.
