Yeah, the loop I saw was that the fence standards were from somewhere around 1940's and since then the law requires higher fences and larger moats. So a lawyer without a conscience will get his cut and the two kids will get rich.

Seems like the only one who got what he deserved was the dead kid. I wonder if his middle name was Darwin?

Your justice system at work.

If you lived in a cage and had kids taunt you, wouldn't you attack them :rolleyes:

I wonder if there would be a jury out there that would side with the hoods knowing that if they don't taunt or prevoke the tiger the injuries do not occur. The injured keeper was in the inclosure and the punks were not. Seems to me if you do not drink a bottle of vodka and taunt a tiger the third guy is still alive.

I believe the saying is "Mess with the bull, get the horns." Dumb kids. Though if the point about the zoo security not reacting is true, thats going to cause some trouble.

I don't know, wild tiger running a muck and only one person dies...pretty good in my book.

We have been zoo members for a number of years and Tatiana was a beautiful tiger. We always go see her when we go to the zoo. She would roar and play, but we have never seen her really aggressive. The episode with the zookeeper last year shocked us, and this year we are sorry about what happened, both to the kids and to Tatiana.

It is very fishy when supposedly victims do not talk about what happened to law enforcement. When that happens, you can bet that there is more behind the story. And especially when the victims are kids, we in the community pretty know that something was not right. So here's today's story in the local papers with eye witnesses:

We will eventually get to the bottom of this, but I just hate attorneys right now who is putting his own spin on what happened to enrich himself!

Update: Tiger attack victim was drinking, admitted taunting
 
Well - looks like the truth comes out. Dumb people in this world.
