“Blaming people for taunting animals at a zoo is insanity. I’ve been to a zoo or two in my day and at every turn people are either taunting or enticing animals.”
Hmmmm.... You’re not supposed to do that, though, right?
More importantly, the zoo is not supposed to let its animals out. The only thing we know is that the boys ‘roared’ at the cats in the zoo.
Shouldn’t the zoo be held responsible if the bald eagle escaped and scrated out the eyes of a boy who yelled, “Kaw! Kaw!”?
Shouldn’t the zoo be held responsible if their wolf escaped and attacked a visitor after someone “howled” toward the animal?
Bad zoo-keeping aside, this episode illustrates an inarguable truth: Tigers will act like tigers, especially when a-holes act like a-holes. Sadly, behavior will always have consequences.
