You are both right.

The Tiger exhibit at the zoo was constructed in the 40’s.

No one has been attacked for 60 years.
Other zoo’s have gone to a 18 foot ‘standard’.

This zoo will now go to that standard or higher, due to this incident.

As they should. No doubt about it.

But.....that does not lessen the responsibility of the patrons of the zoo.

If these young men did what is suggested, they violated the rules.

You just stated that the zoo didn’t violate anything. In over 60 YEARS there have been no problems ... and then these little criminals, er “victims” come along and taunt the animal and it’s the zoo’s fault? I don’t think so ... . Too bad the tiger didn’t get them all.

I did not mean to suggest the persons accused of taunting the animals, if this is what they did, should be cut any slack. I feel quite a bit more sympathy for the dead tiger who was after all being what she was supposed to be, a wild animal, then I do the kids who got what they deserved.
