When Tiger(s) Attack

San Francisco Zoo's mission statement, as printed on the zoo's homepage:

At the San Francisco Zoo, it's our mission to connect people with wildlife, inspire caring for nature and advance conservation action.

I love zoos. I LOVE zoos. Those and aquariums are my favorite places. But I don't throw **** at animals, I don't dangle arms in cages, and I don't even really look crossly at animals.

A wall that doesn't meet specification? Fault: Zoo.
Being in an area you're not allowed in? Fault: human.


There are no winners here. Only losers.

According to this story, one of the teens admits to taunting and baiting the tiger by standing on the railing. Yes, I'm sorry one of the kids was killed, but at least this sort of paints a clearer picture as to what happened and that the tiger didn't just randomly attack.

They were also drunk and stoned. Yes the zoo is (partially?) liable, but the attack never happens if it wasn't for the kids' actions.

Never a good idea to taunt the critters.... Of course, the monkeys can be unnecessarily provocative themselves sometimes.

Yeah, if you're gonna get drunk, smoke bud and taunt animals, I'd go to the petting zoo area and taunt the bunnies. Leave the ****in tigers alone, dumbass.

The zoo should sue the **** out of these idiots for causing the death of tiger. If they don't **** with it it doesn't get out.

I can imagine the tiger's thoughts:

Life sucks. I'm trapped in this hellhole. These granola-eaters are feeding me tofu now. It's not worth it anymore.

But I'm gonna take of those taunting assholes with me.

I'll bet he died with a good buzz, though.

Many, many reputedly sober morons mug and yap at animals.
