Comments on: Tiger Attack Could Be Fatal Blow For Zoo

San Fran Zoo, Already Under Fire, Could Lose Its License After Deadly Christmas Attack

[sgtrds]

These punks go to the zoo looking for trouble. They taunt a wild animal and then get exactly what they deserve. Now the zoo might have to close because of these as*sholes? Hell the city should be suing them! It''s a dam*n shame the tiger didn''t kill all three of them!

I am someone who believes that all the good hard work done by Zoos all around the world to promote education and to save animals and the environment is more important than a hand full of morons.

I am sure that this cat was teased by these boys until she could not take anymore. But this cat attacked a person that feeding her because the person that was feeding her put her hand in the cage trying to get something out of it. That was beyond stupid this is wild animal. I always thought like dogs that get the flavor of humans they are put down right away because they will do it again. But the thing is they are endangered and that is a fact.
The boys did something to the cat but now all the lawyers are in lined to make a lot of money over the stupid things the boys did and I am sure taxpayers are paying for the hospital bills.
I just love the way the parents are acting as though their children are so wonderful but they have a long police record and that is fact.

In the frency to blame the boys, it seems one thing has been lost!
this female tiger had a history of unprovoked attacks...

Unprovoked attacks? Let''s see someone resembeling prey bearing food and idiots teasing and running away (=chicken stuf) resembeling prey. Seems unprovoked to me too, if I had ZERO experience with animals. However, I do have experience with animals, both wild and domestic. This animal was set up for failure and that is the only sad part about this.
Good riddance to morons that believe we should protect them from their own testosterone poisioning.
Later cat food...

is the zoo responsible for what happened...yes...the tiger should have been removed from public exhibit.
a young boy was mauled and ripped to death and the world will never know what great things he could have given humanitity!!!!!that is the greatest lost of all!!!!!~~~

THEY SHOULD CLOSE THE ZOO! SINCE THE ANIMALS CANNOT SURVIVE IN THE WILD THEY SHOULD BE PUT DOWN! IN THIS DAY AND AGE OF COMPUTER IMAGES AND HOLOGRAPHY AN EXHIBIT COULD BE VIEWED WITHOUT THE AROMA THERAPY!

You obviously didn''t read what I wrote. Many of these cats come from private ownership where they are mistreated and the can''t go back into the wild.

That leaves two options, a high budget, caring facility like a zoo, or death.

marcpcbs...your an idiot if you actuly believe these animals are better off you get locked for a while see how you feel stupid...

I am never going to believe that this tiger just jumped out of its cage and hurt these alleged "innocent" people.

I spent from 1959 to 1979 living in San Francisco. I''ve been to the SF Zoo many hundreds of times and to my knowledge, this has never happened before.

I can''t believe that a huge source of joy for countless thousands of people per year could be closed because of this.

Many of the animals at large zoos don''t come from the wild. They are received from situations of private ownership that have gone bad. Most of these animals at large city zoo''s would not be able to survive in the wild and are now getting the best treatment they have ever known.
