SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco Zoo was closed to visitors Wednesday as police investigated a tiger attack they say may have been provoked by visitors' taunting the animal, leaving one man dead and two brothers injured.
Police searched the zoo to ensure there were no others injured and no more animals out of their cages after the Christmas day attack in which the 300-pound tiger, Tatiana, escaped its cage.

Once again, animals suffer because of the stupidity of men. I have no remorse for people who do such things.
None at all.

Unfortunately, the dead person probably wasn’t the one who taunted the cat.

Yep some people are butt heads (see Michael Vick). But the real question is how much of a butt head were these people. Was the tiger in or out of the cage when they were taunting the tiger?

These idiots put the animals lives in jeopardy by taunting them, not to mention other people are put at risk too!
IMO, these so-called people are on the bottom of the evolutionary scale, well below animals.

I have seen those little bass turds taunting the animals and would like to punch them in the nose.

Good luck explaining that to the tiger.

They then "yelled at the animal to stop. lolol
To: FReepaholic
In a sense, yes. If one plays in the middle of a highway, they will get killed too.
It’s called Darwinism.

Oh c’mon...
Who hasn’t delighted as a child throwing lit cigarettes to zoo animals as a child (or, guilty pleasure, as an adult).
Given, I usually do it to the gophers, but that’s why they make chocolate and vanilla I guess (or cage tigers and gophers).
(yes it was a friggin’ joke. lighten up, okay?)

Did someone taunt this same tiger last year when it attacked one of the zoo staff? Or was it an aggressive animal to begin with?
Wasn’t the dead victim in the cafe? i.e. NOT the person who taunted the tiger?

One thing is certain, when those who taunt are killed—they taunt no more. There is a recitivism rate of ZERO...

No matter what, that cat should not have been able to get out of its cage. Obviously an tragedy waiting to happen. And it did.

This cat had a history and came from a zoo where a jag killed a keeper?
