RuMR Posted January 18, 2008 Author Posted January 18, 2008 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. Hey seachicken... did you see my post where the zoo fucked up? Yeah, well STFU dumbass... My point was, even though the zoo has responsibility to keep that animal caged, the frickin' IDIOTS were being dumbasses...hell, they likely could've run into the opposite lane driving their car and killed that same family you referenced instead of the cat getting them. THE FUCKING IDIOT WAS STANDING ON THE GODDAMN RAILING...too bad the dumb ass didn't trip and fall into the enclosure, then the cat would've been justified and not put down and the gene pool would've just been enriched a little bit at the loss... oh yeah...almost forgot Quote
RuMR Posted January 18, 2008 Author Posted January 18, 2008 Watching the monkeys pick their butts, do somersaults for peanuts, and fling poo was always more of a draw for human-animal ineraction. kinda like watching/taunting kevbone and pink, with a dash of Tvash thrown in for good measure, eh?

RuMR Posted January 18, 2008 Author Posted January 18, 2008 Hey seachicken...i've got a bottle of vodka and a one day zoo pass for you!!! Why don'tcha go play at the zoo? Maybe, say near the grizzly pen?? Quote
Seahawks Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 What if there was a sign in 15 languages that clearly stated not to tease the tiger. Would you still feel the same? I'm not saying the teasing is okay. I do expect that when I buy a ticket and go to the zoo that the zoo is saying to me in no way can an animal get out and start mauling you. They knew the height of the enclosure was not up to standards. Hell next time I go to the zoo I packing heat then. When you go to the zoo there should be a .0001% chance of a dangerous animal escaping. This isn't the Movie "Into the wild" Quote

I kind of feel sorry for the kids. They skip a day of school get hammered and smoke a joint. Having a fun day at the zoo. They shouldn't have taunted the lion but who hasn't done something stupid when your young. The zoo is liable when an animal can jump out and start mauling people. Quote

archenemy Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 The animal would not have attacked them if they hadn't taunted it. It was fine hanging out in its pen, probably knowing it could hope the fence, until these kids were jerks. Notice the tiger didn't go after anyone else--only the kids who pissed it off. I hold the parents or the individuals more responsible than the zoo. Quote

I hold the parents or the individuals more responsible than the zoo. True but did you ever get drunk or stoned without your parents knowlege? Hell every parent in america would be liable for something. Being drunk and stepping on top of a tiger cage shows you how stupid they were. Every person that sets foot in a zoo has the right of protection from the animals by the zoo. I've seen kids tapping the glass at lions at the zoo. If the lion jumps out are we going to blame a 4 year old for tapping on the glass and taunting the animal? Agree - The kids were numnuts. They didn't deserve to die. Quote

This has nothing to do with being drunk or stoned. I've gotten fucked up lots and not ever thought teasing a tiger, running in traffic, or robbing a home was a good idea--no matter how high I was. I am not saying the parents are "liable". I am sick of the attitude in this country that people think that when anything happens wrong to them they automatically have the right to sue. Your kid fucked up and paid for it with his life. You don't get money for that. Of course people have to be protected when they go to the zoo. But sometimes things go wrong. Life is just a risk that way. You can minimize or manage your risks by not being an asshole idiot. And I never, ever said that the kids "deserved" to die. I am not that coldhearted, and no matter what black humor is posted here, I don't believe anyone here feels that in their heart. So get off your high horse on that one. Quote
