the police should have shot the person who was in charge of the zoo.

He allowed people to see a tiger who could get loose and eat em.

So now it is mandatory in all zoos in USA to have a sign with "don't taunt the tiger"?

Yes...

Because in the Era of "We have absolutely no phreeking common sense" you even have to put "CAUTION: This coffee is HOT" on the cup.

I say Mr. Tiger.

Just a hungry cat. It's a shame he couldn't eat all of the "courses" of his meal before he was rudely interrupted!

Remember this is San Francisco we are talking about here. Not only are they lacking in common sence, but the concept of personal responsability does not exist in that town.

It doesn't matter to me that they were "taunting" the tiger.

the real point is that the containment was not good enough to keep in a tiger who wanted out... It not only put the morons in danger but every person in the zoo at the time.

No, it's mandatory that all zoos in the USA be constructed such that animals cannot escape their exhibit and get into the visitor area.

The local TV news interviewed the zoologist from the Minnesota Zoo who was responsible for writing the standards for tiger cages. According to him the older pens were built under older guidelines and newer pens follow a new stricter standard.

He expressed doubts that a tiger should be able to get out of the pen without help. In the same piece it was stated that the kid may have actually had his legs in the cage and the tiger may have latched onto him and used him to climb out. What a way to go...

OF COURSE! I hadn't realized that the tiger, the zoo AND the news were ALL biased against people of mid-eastern descent... hardly worth the bytes to respond to that.

But the specifications for building the exhibit aren't mandatory and are just recommendations. The exhibit in the SF Zoo was four feet lower than the recommended minimum for the wall enclosure. That's a major problem, it shouldn't be a recommendation but a requirement.

Someone should posts and say whether or not someone is of Middle-Eastern, Jewish, Christian or of any other race or religion, they all taste like chicken to a tiger.
