The first reports were a tad disjointed. It was the Zoo management that kept the cops out ~ that is, the zoo management was "hostile".

The victims were dead, severely injuired, wounded, terrorized, etc.

The zoo management denied them safety from the tiger attack. I bet they were angry. Except the dead guy. He wasn't angry.

The first reports of the tiger story said the wounded “victims” were hostile to the police. H.o.s.t.i.l.e.

The first reports claimed the boys put down a board or picnic table for the tiger to get out.

Then they claimed they "dangled their leg" over the moat so that the 400 pound tiger could (somehow) use the leg of the 160 pound boy to pull itself out of the moat.

Then they claimed there was a shoe in the moat.

Then slingshots.

Unfortunately, those were all lies by the zoo officials or the police to discredit the boys.

I would be hostile if I was one of the attacked brothers.
