What dumb comments by this writer. Typical liberal drivel, personal responsibility means nothing, the system should provide all.
This is the first publication I have seen that puts the blame squarely where it should be- on the zoo’s shoulders.
Unless the boys aided the tiger’s escape, the zoo is fully responsible.
The writer has a point, but the young men involved seem to represent an extreme case.
It is a crime (actually a misdemeanor) in most jurisdictions to tease zoo animals. It’s a law that needs to be vigorously enforced.
Yes, typical liberal thinking ... if there are enough 'rules', nobody will ever be harmed and the world will be perfect! Come save us, Momma Government, we are too stupid to fend for ourselves!
All sarcasm aside, visiting the zoo is and should not be the same as going out into the wild to gaze at animals, but you have to use some common sense at the zoo as well. Don't aggravate an animal that can tear you to shreds in the unlikely event that it gets loose. Unfortunately, the animal has nothing more to do each day than sit around and figure out how to get out of the bonds of captivity. Once it accomplishes that task, it will do what a wild animal does naturally. In the case of a tiger, it will probably attack some meat.
