Reply #20: it was ruled the tiger was not at fault in that incident [View All]

the housing at the sf zoo was not adequate to protect the trainer, "the tiger was doing what tigers do," the zoo made changes rather than punishing the tiger for the mistake of the zoo -- would you have it instead that they automatically killed the animal no matter who was at fault as in the bad old days?

another example would be montecore, the tiger that attacked roy horn, in a show on stage at las vegas, is still alive and being cared for...by roy horn, at least at last report (must be getting up there in years by now) -- you may criticize his attitude, but he loves these animals, he always knews the risks, and he maintains the mistake was not the tiger, so he is not going to punish the tiger

i'm not sure he is wrong

as for the sf zoo, there's something real fishy about this and all the very conflicting news reports -- the police said that they are investigating this as a crime scene
