San Francisco Zoo Provoked a Tiger Enough Leapt From its Confinement and Killed Him

It wasn't just the 17 year old. The two brothers who were injured were also doing the taunting, and one witness even stated that Sousa, the 17 year old who was killed, did not participate, but was present.I dunno, blown-out and butt-blasted just seems kinda self-indulgent; like you're going out at the top of your escapism curve.The truckstop bathroom is the nadir of drug addiction. Flickering fluorescent lights, vomit-encrusted tiles, a stillborn baby in one of the toilets. That's where hope for a better life goes to die.The truckstop bathroom is the nadir of drug addiction.

The zoo should have enclosures that make it impossible for the animals to get out and have enough staff and security to stop visitors upsetting the animals.They were idiots but the zoo absolutely failed on at least two counts, you can't argue they aren't liable... nor would anyone if the tiger had mauled a baby instead.They weren't drunk, the one that died had a BAC of 0.02, well below the legal limit. Alcohol was found in the car but there is no evidence the other two were drinking at the time. Also, they didn't have weed "on them", a small amount was found in their car.The zoo retracted their false claim about the height of the cage wall and measured under the recommended height. They allegedly ignored reports of the tiger touching the top of the wall in the past.

I don't know if you are sensationalizing the event because you are a DARE officer or you work for the zoo, but either way I feel sorry for anyone who ends up with you as a juror for their trial.Neither of which is illegal in San Jose Francisco, nor does the Zoo turn away intoxicated guests to my knowledge. They most likely sell beer there. I get that this is a shitty situation, but pointing out that minor drug use was involved is pretty arbitrary. (plus it kind of makes you look like the guy from the Stella D'oro breakfast treats commercial IMO) I'd guess that there's about a 0% chance that liquor/weed is to blame for the tiger getting out of captivity, and the fact that it escaped and killed someone is due to the zoo's negligence, not due to the fact that the people involved were partying. Combined with the fact that the victim wasn't even taunting the tiger and your point seems pretty moot.

The wall was built several feet shorter than required. Not only did it pass the initial inspection, it passed regular inspections by the National Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Basically, several different people were tasked with measuring the height of that wall over several years, and every single one of those people either didn't actually do the measurement or lied about what they found.I just wouldn't bother tigers, shit you hear about creepy stories in the wild about them being vindictive as fuck, remembering someone years and years later, hunting them down over hundreds of miles just to murder them for pissing them off. Stay the fuck away from tigers, there's a reason they aren't usually kept in zoos.Same. I once saw a documentary about a vindictive bengal tiger that held such a grudge against a little indian boy, that it took a bear, a panther, an entire wolf pack, and a forest fire to save him.
