Does anybody understand more than I do about the tiger attack at the San Francisco Zoo? I'm very sorry for the family of the boy who was killed, and sorry for the beautiful animal that the police shot. It seems to me that the zoo didn't protect either their visitors or the animal in this case.
Big "however": I have a hard time imagining that something didn't provoke this animal to attempt leaving her enclosure. Does anyone else think that maybe these kids were doing something to irritate and taunt her? Animals do know when you are laughing at or contemptuous of them--I've seen that before. Was it a random occurrence, or did this kid Darwin himself in some new way?
We certainly need more facts, but I'd love to hear the opinion of someone more informed on the subject of wild cat behavior than I am.
