Oops
- The director of the zoo where a teenager was killed by an escaped tiger acknowledged Thursday that the wall around the animal's pen was just 12 1/2 feet high—well below the height recommended by the main accrediting agency for the nation's zoos.
According to the Association of Zoos & Aquariums, the minimum recommended height for tiger exhibit walls is 16.4 feet.
Four feet (in height) makes a big difference to a predator with four feet. No word if this 70 year old wall was built low or perhaps there was 3 or 4 feet of something accidentally added to the moat over the years. There's going to be a lot of second guessing of the accrediting agency that hadn't noticed the height of a wall meant to keep tigers in an enclosure, especially as initial reports of the victims "teasing" are being denied outright by the police chief.

Bet those guys felt real manly, f-ing with that tiger from a "safe" distance. I only wish there was video of their "OH SHIT" faces when that f'er started climbing the wall!!

cop and chief no less.

It makes me yearn for my "happy ending" days at the Korean massage parlor.
I like it even more when they don't pronounce the "l" and makes it an "r".
Gotta go.............

You can relive your "happy ending"
days at the steambath on Halsted at Belmont. Im sure u can find a Korean or Chinaperson in there!
There are signa all over about staying away from area! the punk kid was dangling his leg over teasing the lion, the lion figured fuck it and took a bite! Another reason some parents should train their kids! The mom of this kid will get millions! The police chief there what a winner, yea kind of like our bosses here "because of clout I never stray far from 35th street"!
Darn! I was sure some tree hugger left the cage door open. (You should be free you poor animal) Like Chris Rock said, in regards to Zigfried N Roy, the "Tiger didn't go crazy ! The tiger went tiger!"
My little house cat can jump straight up 8 feet,what can a big kitty do??
Poor Kitty

Hope though he tasted good! tease the tiger you get eaten simple is as simple does!
As Gump once said "Stupid is as Stupid Does" . Sorry for the family, but is those guys were messing with that tiger, they should have known better. Remember, never get out of the boat?
If he did dangle a leg to tempt the tiger with some meat of the hoof, I will nominate him for the Dawin Award.
Do I hear a second?
