Yeah, and that’s just what he’s ADMITTING. The truth is slowly coming out, so it might turn out they did lots more.

‘multiple reports of a group of young men taunting animals’
‘blood alcohol level was 0.16’
‘All three also had marijuana in their systems’
‘the three stood on a 3-foot-tall metal railing’
‘painted a completely different picture to the public and the press’

MSM conclusion = Tiger’s fault.

These guys probably deserve an exhibition cage of their own, however the cages should be assclown proof. The zoo has to bear responsibility for poorly designed containment of dangerous carnivores. What if the animals attacked an innocent bystander rather than the fools?

And I thought the last reports were (from their lawyer) that they were “only dancing and singing and laughing?”

So, were they dancing and singing and laughing on top of the two inch wide, slightly rounded rail?

Can a drunk adult really balance on a thin rail like that?

The wheels of justice turn slowly, and you can bet the Dimwit Brothers will change their story yet again.

A tiger is a wild animal. It cannot be at fault for anything, it does not have free will.

Although these were idiots, the zoo failed to contain the animal. It could have jumped out at anytime, taunted or not.

They could have tranquilized it-—the killing was unnecessary.

No free will? Are you certain of that?

Tiger experts over and over again have said that it would take extraordinary provocation to get a tiger to leap out of it’s enclosure and attack a zoo patron. Extraordinary provocation, not a five year old making faces or yelling. Even if the wall was 4 feet shorter than the recommended height. There is no evidence a tiger has ever got out of that enclosure in 67 years.

It doesn't matter what they did or how high or screwed up they were. A tiger is a tiger - if you're going to exhibit one, you are responsible for the safety of any and all who who come to observe it.

The zoo is 100% liable for the safety of everyone there, even if they ARE dipshits.

Your not in trouble in my book. I'd like Ted Nugent to discipline the survivors.
