Every day, in every zoo in America, people yell at the animals, roar at the lions, kaw at the eagles and hiss at the snakes.

And every person who visits the zoo expect the cages to keep the animals in, even if people make noises at the animals.

Zoo employees have reported for 40 years that tigers were jumping the moat at this particular enclosure.

Unless the victims unlocked the tiger’s cage, let something down the wall enabling it to climb out, the zoo is at fault.

Do you really think cages should only be strong enough for “non-enraged” animals?

Can you link that for me? I never once read it.

Let me get this straight. So if I go to Yellowstone Nat’l Park, where the sign says “Welcome to Yellowstone,” encouraging visitors to enter, and get out of my vehicle when there are grizzly bears around, and even though there are signs warning visitors not to feed wildlife or encroach upon them, it is Yellowstone’s fault if a bear kills me while I run up and tease it?

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.

Yes, I have been following the facts of this story, and have spent most of my life around wild animals which is why I have come to the conclusions that I have. Sure the zookeepers would have thrown then out if they had seen the taunting, just as the park rangers would escort you out of Yellowstone for acting like a dumb ass, but sometimes nature takes care of problems before human intervention can take place.

Are you a friggen’ lawyer cause you sure talk like one!

Apparently these idiots have no responsibility according to you. You must be a trial lawyer.
