 Boy's Right Arm Torn Off by TigerBy MARK BABINECK, Associated Press Writer HOUSTON (AP) - A man's pet Bengal tiger tore off part of his 3-year-old nephew's right arm after the little boy reached into the animal's cage. Surgeons today reattached the arm but weren't sure to what extent the boy would be able to use it.
Did you catch this story? A boy was playing with his uncle's tiger and it attacked him and took his arm off! We're told that the tiger had never shown any aggressive tendencies before - so why now? The answer is... it's a TIGER! Tiger's are built and designed by God to catch and eat meat! Maybe we haven't heard the whole story. Perhaps the boy was playing rough with the tiger - teasing it - or maybe just disturbed it while it was eating dinner. If you have pets, you know that you shouldn't do that - even with little cats and dogs! They can get angry, frustrated and may even take bite out of your hand. Do the same to a pet TIGER and he may just TAKE YOUR HAND! Whether he was or not, I don't blame the boy or the Tiger. The boy was probably just doing what boys do - and the tiger was just being a tiger...
and...
That made me think of a Bible verse: I
Peter 5:8 Hmmm... I
look around and see kids like you getting so caught up in
Wrestling, Pokémon, Harry Potter, witchcraft, horror movies,
guns, drugs, drinking, sex, Christina, Mandy, Britney,
Backstreet Boys, N-Sync (and other teen idols).... HEY!
We're
playing with our UNCLE'S TIGERS! They're cute, cuddly,
playful, and fun! But danger is danger whether we see it
coming or not! God tells us that Satan, our enemy is
coming after us. Not MAY BE - but IS! Normally, you
don't see them coming... but for some reason, we have started
PLAYING WITH THEM! Let's BE SOBER AND BE VIGILANT or put
another way, "Be
self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls
around like a roaring
lion looking for someone to devour." God
is warning us that Satan gets hold of our emotions and gives
us things to make our bodies happy - and our minds to
sleep. Then he destroys us! Ask God to wake you up
to things in your life that have control over you and might be
a trap of Satan. Stop playing with
tigers! I don't want you to lose an arm! |
