How does one TEST for all conditions to include the actions of ill willed people in order to ensure they have adequately “protected” the general population?
The tiger cannot escape.
If you invite people to come look at your tiger and the tiger escapes and attacks them then you are liable.
If someone jumps into the pit with the tiger then I would say the zoo would not be liable. That is not what happened here.

I think one way to "test" would be to overbuild the walls. But that is a quandary for zoos I suppose because the visitors pay money to see the animals and have to get close enough to do so.
Really the older I get the more I doubt the whole idea of zoos. It is asking for trouble to put unpredictable people and what are still truly wild animals so close together. And if we like these creatures so much they should not be confined like that. This zoo seems like a very nice place but that pen with its stupid cement moat and stuff is no place for a tiger. I don’t know much about anything but I get the drift that tigers need to live where the space is measured in miles, not feet. We manipulate so much in our world but the creatures don't understand it. They are still stuck being animals as inconvenient as that is for us.
