“Is it just me, or is the zoo trying to divert attention from the fact they built a tiger enclosure that a tiger could escape from?”

No the enclosure height is within the guidelines. Some want it HIGHER but the height it is now is okay.

Complete nonsense. If the tiger got out, the height is not okay. It's only within guidelines if it prevents the tiger from getting out -- like if that moat had been filled.

I read that the guidelines were 16'4". The current height is only 12'5".

Hmmm I have no idea if these guys taunted the tiger to provoke an attack however, if the tiger got over the enclosure at its present height then I surmise its far from OK.

If I am gonna to build an enclosure to keep something in then it is going to be to do so under any circumstances other than sabatage and/or acts of God.

The height as it is now happens to be BELOW the guidelines. I'm really surprised that you could say that it was OK given that even the top administrator says it's too low.

Do you perhaps sell large animal cages or something?
