if they attacked the Tiger they should have to pay to replace it and modify the enclosure, idiots are Zoo’s worst enemy.

BTW who says stupidity isn’t a crime?

You are right. I think every point here is basically right. But the zoo is ultimately responsible, though. They shouldn’t have allowed the guys to do what they did and antagonize the lion. Better supervision, security, etc. They should have been escorted out immediately, but no one in authority was around to put a stop to it. Or even close by with tranquilizer guns to put an immediate stop to the tiger. And then there is the obvious point that the enclosures weren’t safe enough for a ‘what if’ scenario that ended up happening.

You expect stupidity from young boys. But you don't expect stupidity from zoo officials whose job it is to protect the public and protect the animals.

They knew since the 60s that tigers were in danger of escaping that enclosure. But they did nothing.

There is now talk of criminal charges against the zoo or zoo officials.
