That zoo has had more issues then any other zoo across America. Who makes a tiger enclosure 12ft with no roof/grate top when tigers are known to jump up to 14ft. It is a shame that the tiger was killed after being taunted by a moron. Though it sucks that he was killed, he shouldn't have aggravated the tiger. She was very high up on the AZA breeding list and it took a major toll on the breeding scale for tigers. And as far a tranquilizer goes, they has to be charged and it takes time for it to set in, it's not instantaneous.

January 1, 2008 — SAN FRANCISCO – Two brothers who were injured when a tiger attacked them at the San Francisco Zoo had slingshots on them at the time, a source said.

An empty vodka bottle was also found in a car used by Amritpal Dhaliwal, 19, and his brother, Kulbir, 23, on the day of the mauling, which left 17-year-old Carlos Sousa Jr. dead, according to the source.

The discoveries could be an indication that the brothers may have taunted the 350-pound Siberian tiger before it leapt from its grotto.

And a nother report lists the last entry by one of these violent hip hoppers on his My Space page saying he was “feeling high” just before they set out to the Zoo.

Guess that trip was a real buzz kill!

And the surviving pair has hired big shot lawyer Mark Geragas who will no doubt say that despite being drunk, violent gangsta types intent on provoking the Tiger, it’s the Zoo’s fault because the facility didn’t take into account that people could be that stupid.

These two should be charged with the murder of their friend!

And yes, I still miss the Tiger!

The little girl analogy is perfect. Would people still protest the sadness at losing the tiger or losing the little girl?

Ok…let’s replace “little girl” with “big fat Michael Moore”.

Ultimately, it’s Bush’s fault. It happened on his watch.

Both Kulbir and Paul Dhaliwal were charged Oct. 9 with misdemeanor public intoxication and resisting a police officer after they were arrested a short distance from their home while apparently chasing two men, according to court documents.

Kulbir Dhaliwal allegedly cursed officers and kicked the security partition between the back and front seats in a police car after being handcuffed in the Sept. 7 incident, the police report said.

The brothers pleaded not guilty to the charges and are scheduled to appear in court Jan. 15, records show.

“The reports indicate they were extremely belligerent with police,” said Steuart Scott, the deputy district attorney assigned the case.

So, we have at least two hip hoppers with a recent arrest for violent outbursts.

I regret that the one guy lost his life. But I’m having a hard time finding much sympathy for the other two. Especially if their taunting of this beautiful animal caused the death of their friend and the tiger.

And I totally understand where the girl with the sign is coming from.

But some people just need attention, and she's getting a lot of it. The more we talk about this the more she'll think we're listening I'm not saying I agree with her. If I saw that happen in front of me I wouldnt think twice before i shot it. The zoo is supposed to be safe. If you see these animals in the wild they WILL kill you. That's why you go to the zoo. Because wild animals kill people. The fact that they taunted it is irrevelant. Some animals will go nuts if you look at them wrong. What if this was a little girl that got killed because she had food or was crying? The zoo should be held accountable and this girl should be slapped.

We use that section, but only for dog or cock fighting. You won't find a DA anywhere who would use this section for a kid putting a leg over a wall of a tiger exhibit.
