Tiger Shows Tigerish Qualities.

A rare white tiger has mauled to death a New Zealand zoo keeper as horrified tourists looked on, police said.

.....

The zoo - home to some 40 rare lions and tigers - has been closed to visitors, and the tiger destroyed.

The white tiger is even rarer now I guess. I don't understand why they destroyed the animal though, it's a tiger- killing is what it does.

Indeed.

And you'd think the first rule in any zoo for the cleaners is 'Make sure the animals aren't in the cage when you begin cleaning it'...

Yes, particularly if the animal in question is a large carnivore with a track record of attacking people.
