I feel better now. I’m not the only one explaining why it’s shorter than expected.

This doesn’t explain why a tiger didn’t escape sooner.

Earlier this week, zoo officials said the moat's wall was at least 20 feet tall. Today they said it was little over 12 feet.

That's the kind of depth perception you get when, all your sexually active lives, you've been told that "this much" (holds fingers three inches apart) is nine inches.

12 feet from bottom of dry moat to edge of viewing? Good grief, a housecat can jump 4-6 feet straight up when motivated. Surely they don’t mean the wall separating the moat from the public. They must mean the wall that has the electrical barbed wire (at least I hope it’s electrified.)

Sooner or later the complete truth will out as concerns this story.

for now, we must speculate.

First, the deafening silence of those two brothers is very telling. Those guys did something at that tiger grotto. I suspect they somehow got inside of the thing, judging by such as footprints on the wall.

I understand the footprints were found on the smaller wall but this makes me think one, two or all three of them were INSIDE of that grotto area, at the very least they were on the grassy area outside of the bigger wall. Late in the day like that? They probably figured it would be cool to climb the wall and have fun with the tiger.

The tiger attacked first one brother, than the guy it ended up killing, then it followed the guys who were then running away toward the cafe. It seems to me that those three were attacked by the tiger and were desperately trying to get away. It’s not like they were walking by all innocent like is what I’m saying here. Somehow, some way, those three guys got in some bad mischief around that tiger grotto.

Now as to the height of that wall....well this is confusing. at first the zoo says the wall, and I speak of the larger wall that enclosed the grotto around the moat, was 20 feet high. Now they say...no wait, it’s only 12 feet high! Well which is it for God’s sake? Eight feet is a mighty big difference.

For now I kind of think those guys were inside of that grassy area by climbing the smaller fence. They might have been throwing stuff at the tiger, whatever. The tiger got angry and an angry tiger could climb a 12 foot wall evidently. although there’s the mystery of the moat. surely they could ascertain if the tiger swam the moat by virtue that its dead body would be wet, right?

This is a very intriguing case.

The important thing to remember is the tiger is disposed of and will never harm again.

[mad_as_he$$]

Waht kind of F’in idiot cannot tell the difference between 20 feet and 12 feet. Especially in a city full of penis envy.

I heard earlier that Veronica Corningstone narrowly escaped a mauling herself. It was fortunate that Ron Burgundy was nearby (he had apparently been there the whole time, literally... Is that you Wilt!!??)

(I immediately regret my decision to post that. To all Anchorman fans, please feel free to improve on my minimal attempt at humor.)

Any questions?

This is turning into one huge game of pass the buck.

This was an instance of kharmic dissonance ~
