“Recommendations” or “suggested guidelines” are just THAT.

If that’s your point ... I;m not impressed. It changed nothing. If those kids hadn’t taunted this animal, nothing would have happened - regardless of the height of the enclosure. For that Hanna is an expert and you are NOT. I’ll believe a tiger expert over you any day. I know witnesses that saw the taunting don't matter to you. It doesn't matter that these jerks have criminal records ... or carry cling shots around ... very ABNORMAL.

Hanna has recanted what he said the day after the attack; he was going by the zoo’s initial statement that their fence was 18 feet high, and it would indeed be a miracle if a tiger could jump that. But 12.5 feet? Well, no, a tiger could indeed jump that. It did.

That’s all that matters.

Are you saying that Hanna can predict the behavior of a wild animal in advance? If Hanna is right, there must no longer be a difference between domesticated and wild animals. There sure was when I was growing up.
