to catch a cosplayer


Saw this on i09 and just had to laugh... Last week, officials at the Tama Zoo in Tokyo ran a containment drill based on the premise that a tiger had gotten loose during an earthquake. Hey, it could happen, so it's good to know what to do. But they obviously couldn't use a real tiger for the practice run, so they used the next best thing -- a guy in a tiger suit. Here's the video:



Rage beast! If nobody bothered to explain or subtitle this, it would just look like a verite-styled sci-fi drama about a totalitarian society that persecutes cosplayers. Or furries. And the only way to deal with them is swift containment!

Do they draw straws to determine who gets to play the tiger?
