Zoo Visitor Says Men Roared At Tiger

SAN FRANCISCO -- A woman who was visiting the San Francisco Zoo on the day a tiger mauled three young men last week says she saw two of them taunting the animal.

Meanwhile, the zoo reopened Thursday amid a swirl of questions over the events that led to the death of one of the men.

Jennifer Miller told the San Francisco Chronicle that she was at the zoo with her husband and children and watched the young men roaring at the lions shortly before the tiger attack.

"let's not go overboard with these young men.....we have no proof of anything that they did or did not do...."

And let's not get overboard with the not guilty side of things.......These kids history, things that have yet to come out are all a part of making up one's mind. You have no proof that they didn't! You need to take in account that this closure was in existence and held the cats for 70 years! Until these two idiots came along. We don't know WHAT happened. It's still under investigation. Unless you have ALL the facts, I'd refrain from either side.

I hope to God you’ve never bred. We don’t need more of your kind around here.

"In fact, the cops are suspiciously silent"

Same could be said against your clients. Mr. Gregaros.

It's the weekend too.

Cops are always suspiciously silent on the weekend.

The experts sure screwed up didn't they. Tell you what, let's take 10,000 PETA idiots who don't know all the facts who want to put them in a big field, then run a couple of hundred captive tigers in there to practice up on their technique.

Should be fun.

Well, you see, it’s a long story but they “got bit by a tiger” on Christmas Day, and you’d probably be a bit quiet too.

Hardly! Oh please, how many times do we see young shark attack survivors, mountain Lion attack survivors etc on the news talking about how there scary their ordeal was with every news team and national news magazine that can find them and point a camera at them? These two low lifes already arrested previously for being drunk and disorderly are staying really really quiet because they are completely guilty. The fact that they would not even reciprocate an overture from the Sousa family who's son's death they were a contributing factor in precipitating is proof alone they are bordering on human refuse. If people want to sit and find the human kindness gene in those two I have a Zoo in a strip mall I'd like to sell you.

"Tatiani hear roars all the time...and screaming monkies and more....It's a zoo!!"

And that's why there must have been something SO much more to the story and we're not getting it. Time will reveal all.

The zoo's neglegence allowed the boys to be attacked even before we knew 'what character' they had.

The zoo's responsibility is to protect everyone from the animals, regardless of whether the people are of 'good moral character' or not.

don’t want to take responsibility for killing their friend.

You need to make an appointment with a shrink and get your head examined. The tiger killed their friend.

No one has come up with a URL to the criminal records for these guys ~ just baseless allegations until some evidence is provided.

Now, about those shark bite victims, they usually don't talk much until they've been sewn up and healed a bit. The one fellow has some puncture wounds and although he seems not to have been torn seriously, cat clawmarks and bitemarks are usually filled with all sorts of remarkable bacteria ~ and many people well on their way to recovering from cat bites fall dead anyway.

So, we'll see. I doubt he can get off the toilet given the level of antibiotics they're pumping into him. Outside of Danny Glover's movies you're usually not going to see TV interviews with guys on the can.

Again, I’m sure they’d call Sousa’s father except the cops are holding their cellphones, and that’s where their directories are to call Sousa or his father.
