Police said all three young men had been drinking and smoked marijuana before going to the zoo. Cardoza, however, ridiculed the idea that their condition had anything to do with the attack.
"Come on, how many people go out there to the zoo a little stoned?" he said. "This is ridiculous. Is that a reason to dirty the kids up?"
Can't say I've EVER gone to the zoo stoned. Never occurred to me. Anyone else here?
The fact is that the zoo’s wall was too low and was a danger to everybody.
Regardless if the victims were stoned or or not, the tiger should have not been able to escape.
