This tiger has been in that enclosure for YEARS. There is nothing wrong with the enclosure with height or otherwise - it’s within the suggested guidelines. These jerks did something to anger this tiger.

Ridiculous! So it is OK for the tiger to get out if someone makes it angry? If the tiger had killed your child or grandchild after it had finished with the young men, I guess that would be OK, since there was "nothing wrong with the enclosure."

Look, I'm not defending these young men. I don't know enough about what really happened to do that. Maybe they were buttheads. They probably were buttheads.. It doesn't matter. If the tiger got out, then, by definition, there is something wrong with the enclosure.

Exactly. And, seeing as how this particular tiger had already mauled its caretaker a year earlier, almost to the day, better precautions should have been taken. It doesn't appear it was, by any means, any kind of "docile" wild animal. And that appears an oxymoron, at the very least.
