Rio Olympic Jaguar Mascot Shot [graphix photos]
 

black jaguar?

The Olympic torch relay took a horrific turn when a Brazilian soldier shot and killed a jaguar that had just been involved in the torch ceremony.
The female jaguar, named Juma, was photographed in the town of Manaus as the torch passed through on its way to Rio, and the whole thing went off without a hitch.
But according to reports, shortly after the ceremony the sedated big cat -- normally captive at a zoo -- bolted for freedom as it was being placed back in its cage. When Juma approached a soldier, he fired the fatal shot.
The Amazon Military Command said the killing was in line with safety procedures.
Talk about a tragic omen -- Brazil's Olympic team mascot is a yellow jaguar, known as Ginga.

Probably not the only thing that will end up shot at the Olympics

A dire prediction:2 cents:

It seems that Africans like to party in Rio no less than i Chicago.

They also shoot homeless teenagers on the streets of Rio so not really a shock.

killing should no the in line of the safety procedures. thats bullshit.

It must have to start of some point lets see what next

I've had a bad feeling about these Brazil games for some time now.

I think it started with the story about their feces-polluted water where the swim events will be held.
