Boys Will Be Boys And Well, Tigers Will Be Tigers Too!

TIGER ATTACK VICTIMS USED SLINGSHOT ON TIGER

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.

The brothers have refused to comment on whether they were taunting the tiger prior to the attack.

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.

A bit like getting caught with your hand in the cookie jar tiger’s mouth huh?

Sounds like evolution in action.


What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

I bet they might be able to figure out if they were tormenting the tiger by, say, finding spent “ammo” from the slingshots in the cage, eh?

Lots of lawsuits with this one.  On one hand, you’ve got a tiger in the zoo inside a too-short fence that’s already mauled a keeper.  On the other, you’ve got (evidently) punk kids who think it’s intelligent (well said, Whistler) to torment a 350 pound carnivore.

And the taxpayer gets to pay the bill to settle all of this, and probably wrongly.  Somehow my voice is sounding like Tatiana’s (the tigress) on that one!

I have had a nagging doubt about the circumstances of this mauling from the start. Something did not sound right from the beginning, and each report had different numbers for how high the wall was and how wide the moat was. An immediate rush to CYA is less than conducive to reassuring the public as to their safety.
