Well that’s another thing...
....suppose that tiger which did escape thanks to those fine boys whose parents are so proud of them, and attacked other INNOCENT people?
Those boys caused that problem and their recompense should be maybe a return of medical expenses. For sure Mark Geragos who....well does this fellow deserve millions?
And again....who has to pay for the dead tiger?
I would bet there is a local or state ordinance about taunting any animal. In Michigan there are laws to protect wild birds and such. This is apart from hunting. You can not molest a bird setting on a nest. Molesting in this case would be to throw stones etc.
These three young men taunted an animal, and now someone is dead. I would have thought the zoo would have filed a charge against the remaining men.
I think the boys had a reasonable expectation that the tiger could not escape from a zoo enclosure. This “magnificent animal” had attacked a zoo official in the past — the zoo was cited for safety violations. The zoo knew the wall was too short, and yet it comtinued to put it’s patrons at risk.
