Come on now.... THE DOPES WERE HARASSING A TIGER! Who in their right mind does that? They had a death wish, and the courts should throw out their cases.

Give me a break! The zoo should be suing these jerks for the poor tiger's death. Criminal charges should be lodged against them too for cruelty to animals. I would love to be on this jury.

Man, too bad the Tiger didn't finish them off. Taunting a captive animal, they got what they had coming - harsh but true. The only unjust part was that the they offed the tiger, who was just being true to her nature and acting in self defense (as well as preserving her dignity.) Punks.

Technically though, I have to admit the Zoo was negligent - Tiggy shouldn't have been able to get out.

We all knew this was coming. We all know the arguments on both side.

Cut the crap, sit back, let's see what the jury sez.

Too bad the TIGER didn't take out the rest of the family for having the world biggest LOOSER walking around and fool with the big cats.

These 2 dirt bags don't deserve a thing. They are grown men who went to the zoo with sling shots, were drinking and were see throwning rocks at the tiger. What sort of men does this to an animal? A gutless prick. It is too bad the sh!t bag was not fully eaten.

The Zoo should cross-complain against the two for violating the Endangered Species Act! It is against the ESA to harrass a listed species.

Vermin. Too bad the tiger didn't distribute the darwin award to these two other maggots.

Sociopathic dirtbags like these two gangbangers inconvenience the rest of us with their antisocial behavior. The zoo may close because of these two cretins. It's just a shame.

DUHHHH. The point of posting on topix is to assert your opinion. If you don't have one...why post?

I'd just like to see these too poor kids get some of the zoo's money so they can begin the healing process. The zoo should be prepared for the animals to be taunted. Who cares about the stupid tiger. These too will be emotionally scarred for life and every moment of their pain and suffering is compensible..... not! Hehe

They need to be scarred for life. They nees to be sued not only by the zoo but by the National Wildlife Association, the SPCA and any other organization that can. Put them in a cage and shoot them with slingshots!!!!!!!!!!

I hope they get a large settlement to dissuade other zoos from skimping on their animal enclosures to save a few bucks.

What the boys did is irrelevant. The tiger got out. Which put the tormentors, as well as any innocent bystanders in danger. For the tiger to be able to escape under any circumstances makes the zoo negligent in their duty to protect the public. It should be a class action suit by anyone who has ever been where the boys were and that could have found themselves in the same predicament.
