Why not save the scoffing until we know what happened?

I’m thinking there will be enough blame to go around on all sides when the dust settles. You know, I used to go to that tiger enclosure often when my son was a toddler because his favorite thing to do was go to the S.F. Zoo. I have to say, I never once thought the tigers could jump from the “island” over the fence, but I’m not Jack Hanna.

Still, I find it very, very surprising that the zoo would not have cameras placed in or near an enclosure where an admittedly dangerous animal was out in the “open.” I am also surprised that since the zoo was officially “closed” that the animals had not been or were not in the process of being brought in, especially considering how dark it is that time of year.

One thing I find puzzling is that I have yet to hear the brothers describe how it is the tiger approached them. Have they stated that she leaped out of her enclosure or that she approached them from the behind the enclosure, where the access doors are. Has this ever been made plain?

Because then my entertainment would be lessened somewhat, and we can't have that.

As someone who suffers from cat attacks on a daily basis, I still have no sympathy for the young ruffians.

PhotobucketNote the tucked-back ears, denoting anger and hostility, and the profuse eye-boogers. Still haven't solved that problem.

What scoffing, all you have here is a bunch of knuckle dragging animal rights wacko's with a bunch of, if, and, are maybes, mean while the taps that have been released make the zoo and 911 operators look and sound like a goon squad.

My guess is that the tormentors climbed the fence and were leaning over the moat wall to get a better shot at the tiger.
The tiger makes a quick leap and grabs one of the attackers. In effect using him as a rope.
Remember early on the cops said there was concrete under the cats rear claws.

“And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?”
