You can point to them and say “Quit acting stupid”. But the usual reply is, “Who’s acting?”

She's been all over the news today saying the fault was hers. A little late now. I do hope that the zoo isn't forced to spend money to save future idiots. If so, the woman should be charged.

If anyone or anything is to be put down, let it be the woman, the Jaguar was doing what it does naturally.....but then again as a potential Darwin award winner she was doing what she does naturally. Good to hear nothing will happen to the Jaguar.

Worse yet she was the second person at the same place to have this happen. They need to put up electric fences to keep the morons away from the animal enclosures.

They need to build zoos with enclosures to protect the Animals from the People...have seen tourists in Yellowstone walk up to Buffalos for a Selfie....

Several issues:
1) She is not calling herself a photographer yet you attack her on that.
2) A phone while denigrated by many here IS a gizmo that includes one or two cameras, like it or not.
3) Stupidity is not reserved to a few.
4) To wish that folks who may not have any survival instinct do not need folks like you to wish for their death. They are doing a good job all by themselves. They do not need you to push them over a cliff. By doing so you demonstrate your own stupidity. Shall we nominate you for the next Darwin award or should we lock you up for being full of brown matter?

Your attempt at humor is flat thoughtless and does not give credit to the woman for recognizing she was foolish and at fault. How many of us are capable of being honest?

Its amazing that all potential Darwin Award winners realized they were foolish and at fault 'after the fact'.....maybe its because these potential Darwin winners can't think or even read (the signs)

To get a Darwin Award you have to die. Indeed, the woman is a moron.

Not always, its either dead or out of the gene pool....there have been some that lived but will never reproduce again....unfortunately this woman will be able to reproduce

A snake wanted to get across the river. A turtle kindly offered to take him across on top of his shell. Once across the river, the snake bit the turtle. As the turtle was dying, he asked the snake why he bit him after he charitably took him across the river. The snake replied, "You knew what I was when you picked me up." WILD animals are called that for a reason, and your need for a selfie that will be viewed a couple of times then likely deleted does not outweigh millions of years of development of the killer instincts in these animals. The animal is just doing what it does naturally - and perhaps the morons who set these situations up are doing the same thing.
