seriously,

 

the cat was just doing what its nature told it to do...had it been left alone, both the stupid ass and the cat would still be alive...

 

Zoo fucked up by not having a more secure enclosure as well...

A kid's got a right to drink beer and smoke weed at the zoo. Hell I bet plenty of cc.commers have gotten loaded and taunted animals in their younger days. I've seen Feck ranting at a snafflehound with bottle of rum in his hand...

 

If the zoo enclosures hadn't been substandard the tiger would never have escaped. The zoo is just bringing this up to distract media attention from their liability in this death.

Fact is these kids are idiots having a little adolecent fun. The Zoo as stated above is trying to avoid a huge settlement. No way should that Cat be able to jump out. What if it had been a family tapping on the glass. While they shouldn't have taunted the cat no way did it justify death. If the zoo is so worried about this behavior why don't they have cameras and a intercome system to warn people to stop or be escorted to an exit and charged.

 

If I'm sitting as jury, the zoo is guilty of the death even if the kids taunted the animal. They knew the height was not up to what it should be.

(Archie should recognize these lyrics)

 

You have to prove

That you're not scared

Enter the cage

Take the dare

Screaming death

In the beast's lair

You couldn't read the signs

DON'T FEED THE BEARS

 

Don't go in there

You best beware

 

Don't feed the bears

 

Stupid fool

You should have known

That's some place you shouldn't go

Polar giant on you

Blood starts to flow

They belong not in a cage

But in the fucking snow

 

Don't go in there

You best beware

 

And please don't feed the fucking bears!

What if there was a sign in 15 languages that clearly stated not to tease the tiger. Would you still feel the same?

 

I've been to the SF zoo many times... it's been at least 16 years, so don't know what has changed. But, back when I went there, the enclosures were pretty big, with a big moat.

 

And I never felt an urge to taunt the big cats.

 

Watching the monkeys pick their butts, do somersaults for peanuts, and fling poo was always more of a draw for human-animal interaction. :grin:
