Have you been following the facts in this story?
Of course they acted like punks. But they thought they were safe, as they should have. Sorry but taunting a tiger should just get your a$$ thrown out, not killed.

That’s the chance you take teasing wild animals. I’m sure it added to the thrill. Until they got the surprise of their lives.

What men. Teasing an animal they thought couldn’t get out.

It’s easy to be a hero when you think it’s safe.

I’m impressed.....

Just how much of their own stupidity should the zoo have protected them from? My verdict, if I were on the jury--nothing for the tiger taunters. If I could, I'd toss them and their lawyers into another tiger enclosure, just to avenge the death of the tiger they caused to leap from its enclosure.

Well, if the only consequences for teasing a tiger was just to get thrown out, then I suppose there wouldn’t be any problem with teasing a tiger. There were two enclosures. If the idiots hadn’t went over the first one, they would have been safe.

They can write "should have" on the kids tombstone. Actions have consequences. Assumptions are a poor basis for actions.

The zoo was not dispensing justice.

Neither the zoo nor any other organization, nor any police or teacher or parent or any other entity on this planet can protect us from our own actions. That is the ultimate 'law'.

Teenagers don't deserve to die in auto accidents either, but they will continue to do so unabated (leading cause of death for teenagers).

We cannot make this world safe for anyone, least of all for those who have impaired judgement.
