Teen killed by tiger had drugs, alcohol in his system

If he had climbed into the enclosure then he would deserve it but being the victim of an escaped tiger isn't in the same league.The fact that the enclosure was wrongly built is the reason the cat escaped and the reason he is now dead.
I doubt you or Rebgirl would've fared any better if you were faced with the same beast.

Sorry to disagree, but I have enough sense *NOT* to torment an animal, and cause it to escape its confines to attack its tormentor. That exhibit had *NEVER* had a problem before until those idiot kids started throwing rocks and stuff at the cat.
I have been to that zoo many times and have seen the exhibit. Common sense tells you that there won't be a problem until somebody comes along and makes it a problem.

There is no such thing as "idiot proof", because they keep making smarter idiots.
