So it has finally surfaced that the three idiots at the San Francisco Zoo did, in fact, taunt the tiger. One of the idiots admitted to yelling and "waving" at the tiger. This idiot also had a blood alcohol level of 0.16 which is twice the legal limit for driving. So these guys had shots of vodka, smoked some pot, then decided to taunt the tiger. The tiger got out and attacked and killed one of the idiots. I suppose you could feel sorry for the guy and his family, but you also have to think that this is simply natural selection at work. In the wild, the animals that are slower and dumber tend to be the ones killed off first. In this case, a very dumb human being was killed. Maybe the rest of us are better and safer because of it. I almost think that it is a shame that the tiger was killed before it had a chance to sink its teeth into the other two. It is mostly a shame that the tiger had to be killed at all when there was obviously human error/idiocy all around. The walls around the pen were too short. Who built the walls? Humans. The three guys taunting the tiger were simply idiots. Yet, unfortunately, the tiger, still a wild animal in spite of being in a zoo, also had to die. I might sound heartless, but I really don't feel sorry for the three guys. They sort of got what they had coming to them.
And, no, you can't use the word "idiot" too many times in one post, especially when the post is about a bunch of idiots!

Would that it were natural selection. From the sound of it, the guy who died was the only one who wasn't up by the fence taunting the tiger. He was the one following the rules and worried they'd get in trouble if they were caught. Sadly, he was the only one that got killed. :( I guess idiots have thicker skulls to protect them.
Yep, it's sad when animals die on account of human idiocy, or even just laziness (I'm thinking of bears being shot in Rocky Mountain National Park and other places because humans don't store their food right when they backpack, etc.).
It's too bad the idiots are the ones who always seem to get away with it, too - drunk drivers live but kill little kids, etc.
