Tiger Attack In S.F.!

[lazs2]

The only way I am going to buy that it was the kids fault that the tiger got out is if they went and opened the gate.   you can't stop that...  you shouldn't hand out keys tho or make it accesable to people.

So now it is the excuse that the kids somehow got their legs through the cage and up high enough that the tiger was able to use em for traction.   this is really getting lame...

A tiger cage that kids can stick their legs through?   Were these guys part monkey in order to get high enough up the cage?   is it only a foot or two in cage hight that they use as a safety measure?

sig..  or..  your grandpaw let the good doctor go where he went on to kill another 400 people before he died of a drug overdose.

Sorry... everyone who had a hand in building and maintaining that cage would have to die.  Probly do it by throwing them in one of the cages.   They wouldn't be killing anyone else and I will take my chance with a jury.

Actually Lasz, they are part monkey....far better able to climb the metal bars of a zoo fence than is a tiger, whose claws are good for only climbing large trees and killing prey.

Some accounts quoted on the news state that the young men had climbed to the top of the fence.  I didn't make that up.  A taller fence might have saved them, but as stupid drunk and doped up as they were, there's no guaranteeing that they wouldn't have tumbled into the enclosure.

Bottom line, they'd still be alive if they hadn't been competing for a Darwin Award.

Sure, the fence could have been built taller, but as good Republicans, we should also believe in personal responsibility.

shukins.. you are missing my point.. if they manage to climb up over and fall in and get eaten.. I have no problem with that except.. they really shouldn't be able to without a lot of effort... but...

If they have easy access and they can climb up even when loaded and drunk and then.. the tiger is able to use that for getting over the fence and killing the poor slobs there with their families... then someone is not running a safe zoo.

Someone is lazy and incompetent.   why are other zoos better designed?  

If you are running a zoo you damn well know the answer to that one.  And.. you ignored it.

If someone comes in with ladders and blow torches and cuts the bars and lets out the animals.. well.. that is not the fault of the zoo not building proper cages.

If a tiger gets teased and then jumps over the fence or through it... that is the fault of the zoo for not building proper cages.
