I doubt you or Rebgirl would've fared any better if you were faced with the same beast.
The zoo is at fault for having an enclosure that the tiger could escape from. That is completely unexcusable and led to the death of this kid AND the tiger. The fact that they were stoned or drunk is completely irrelevant. However, I do believe that they were taunting the tiger, and I have no sympathy for anyone who would torment an animal.
