It’s not that they were stupid to take on a 500 pound killing machine, it’s that they were so heartless, mindless, cruel and stupid to think it’s great fun tormenting a caged wild animal.
I know the authorities did what they had to do when they killed the tiger, and I know the zoo was probably at fault for having a confinement setup that was less than adequate.
The preferred outcome, in my mind, would have been for them to have been caught in the act and caged themselves for their crimes.
Maybe they’ll end up in a cage where they will be tortured and tormented.
That is so true...no matter what wrongs those stupid, drunk kids did, the confinement for the tiger/s should have been adequate enough to keep any one of them from escaping. That is where the fault of the zoo will come into play, rather than the fault of the kids. The families of these kids will sue, and they will get away with what caused the killing of their friend, and of the tiger. I hope their conscience will drive them nuts the rest of their lives because they are ultimately responsible for the deaths.
I agree. It’s unfortunate that there were no cameras anywhere, although, if these boys had been caught, I doubt that the punishment would have been too severe.
