An empty vodka bottle was also found in a car used by Amritpal Dhaliwal, 19, and his brother, Kulbir, 23, on the day of the mauling, which left 17-year-old Carlos Sousa Jr. dead, according to the source.
The discoveries could be an indication that the brothers may have taunted the 350-pound Siberian tiger before it leapt from its grotto.

Last words watch this.
Will he channel the tiger?
(See my article on this topic.)
Could you please provide a link or other reference to your article?
In San Francisco?
Although bears invented dumpster diving, I'm sure the tigers could come up with the same thought very quickly if given the opportunity.

You need to add: and be able to run faster than your friends when drinking.
Could have been dozens of people killed or hurt, maybe even a few eaten.
The fact that it could happen at all is the problem.
A slick lawyer would do his homework and jury screening and find a way to keep you off the jury. A law student once told me that criminal defense lawyers don’t like Republicans & engineers on juries, for example.
NOW it makes sense that they were TAUNTING...not with words but THINGS!
Dito! I think they should have the book on animal abuse thrown at them.
They're idiots!
Purely legally speaking, probably so. But I stand by what I said. If I’m on the jury they don’t get a dime from me. I don’t reward stupidity, especially if in fact that stupidity caused what happened. Sorry
If this article is true, the suit should be filed against the boys.
Calling..... PETA, WSPA(World Society for the Protection of Animals),PATH(People Protecting Animals & Their Habitats)etc., etc,.
Thanks for my belly laugh of the day.
I believe in Yellowstone some years ago a black bear took a New Jersey tourist out of the gene pool. The bear was saved though since plenty of eyewitnesses had the deceased idiot provoking the bear so he could get a better picture. Both sides will want to settle out of court.
I remember a similar story about the Prospect Park Zoo in Brooklyn (iirc) about twenty years ago.
Seems some yutes gained access to the zoo at night by scaling a fence. They got in the habit of taunting a tiger and eventually climbed a tree and went out on a limb overhanging the tiger’s cage. The tiger crouched defensively, never showing any aggression ... until, emboldend by the tigers passivity one of them went out too far on the limb and came within the tiger’s reach. Perhaps a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, but in this case the tiger’s did not.
With one mighty bound the tiger grabbed the yute in front of his horrified friends and pulled him into his cage. Needless to say this story had a happy ending. The decision was made not to destroy the tiger and he lived out his years with the happy memories of one who laughs last.
My understanding is that PETA wants all zoos to be abolished, as they are cruel and unusual punishment for animals.
I think that there was a blood trail.
Still doesn't cause me any pity for idiots taunting a man-killer in a cage. I don't buy the premise that it was 'just a matter of time' ........
