Tigers had gotten over the moat several times over the last few decades.
This time it was fatal.
Zoo: “Our wall is 20 feet tall... OK, it is 16 feet tall... OK, in reality it is only 12.5 feet tall, four feet below recommendations. Oh well. Move on. Nothing to see here.”
To: Mr. Brightside
Just a side note here. There are no Muslims in India???
Sorry that made me chuckle.
It shall be interesting as to how this story unfolds.

Staff or volunteers watching them will stop most of that. Some zoos have “waiting lists” I was at our zoo a few years ago and the monkeys had their place right in front of the entrance.(yes I like monkeys:’) No one was teasing but there were a lot of kids around. There was one that was very angry about something though and he came running and screaming and leaped over the low area. It was like watching fireworks coming right at you. He didn’t quit make it and fell in the pit but another few feet and he would have cleared. I don’t know what he would have done if he got out but he was showing teeth.

... And for 50 years of no one got through airport securtity with a weapon that could bring down a 747. Therefore we must have have very good airport security on 9/11. [/sarc]
The point is that the zoo’s walls were below recommendations and below the height that the zoo stated in its safety records. We know the wall was too low because the cat got out.
To: Mr. Brightside
The zoo should have protected both the animals & the people. I don’t quite understand the lack of video cameras or the fact that there weren’t guards moving the people out as it was closing down. So the zoo is at fault, I’ve never said it wasn’t. As a matter of fact I’ve posted it shouldn’t even be open until EVERY ANIMAL is secure . I think it needs to be looked into & fixed asap, not open again.

Mom and Dad used to take me to the St Louis Zoo every summer when I was a youngun. One of the monkeys there used to get agitated easily. It was as though he just got sick and tired of people looking at him. He’d hang on the side of the cage and pee on anybody standing close, screaming the whole time.

"Tigers had gotten over the moat several times over the last few decades. This time it was fatal."Tigers walk the moat daily. They have never got out of the pit before, except as per post 174, which involved a much larger male tiger. That tiger never left the fenced area.

I like monkeys but I’ve seen them get mean. We were doing a drive through animal park once & one was ripping at a car. Trying to do as much damage as it could. Plus they throw stuff at you. lmao. I like your other monkey story with the ice. lmao ~Pandy~

JMO but I think some of the wall report confusion may have been how they were measuring. It’s probably higher in some areas and lower in others. Lower and higher ground affects to. Maybe some were measuring at the moat. Of course they wanted it to be as high as possible but I can see getting different reports. One could say 16 feet and everyone could go whew and another said “wait I got 14......
To: abigailsmybaby
To: CindyDawg
Agreed. But we all know now that it was too low.
To: pandoraou812
There is no proof anyone taunted anything. That is what the cops have said. These are animals in a zoo they are a considerable distance from people. If you scream hay dumb tiger, he is not going to get angry because he does not know he’s a tiger. So what is taunting and how do you do it. I've been out to look at the white tigers in Vegas and I saw a kid making a face at a tiger about 40 feet away do you think I needed to turn him in.
