There are other zoos with 12.5 feet. One bit of advice is you dont use a slingshot to whip stones at a tiger while standing on an enclosure rail while drunk on vodka. For example.

I believe there is also a moat.

It would appear that a tiger can clear 12.5 feet. Maybe the national standard should be adhered to.

If there are other zoos with 12.5 feet then they're hauling ass to extend the wall or creating 6 foot moats, because their inclosure is ineffective and exposes their patrons to danger. We don't know whether those boys were using slingshots or drunk, though a witness has come forward who says she saw them growling at the tigers in jest. Even if true it hardly excuses the zoo for creating an enclosure that a tiger could get out of. They're very lucky it happened on a day when hardly anybody was there.

If a tiger can get out of a 12.5 foot moat, the enclosure is unsafe. What if one day the tiger is watching and decides he wants to have a four-year-old as a snack for no more reason than he can?

No sympathy for the punks in this case.
