I was at the SF zoo just before happened! I have no doubt that the boys teased the tiger (their idiots!

) but it's scary to think the wall isn't high enough to keep the tiger from climbing out!
oh yeah... cute polar bear!

That said, if the idiots were using slingshots to shoot the tiger I'd say Darwin's theory is in play...
I agree here, it boggles my mind how a zoo-keeper with a dart gun or something wasn't the first to respond to the attack... how does the police get called in to act before the zoo can?
I think the biggest loser here is the tiger. First, it was probably minding it's own business out in the wild, then it gets tranquilized and dragged to the other side of the world to be stuck behind bars and gawked at all day. And then, if these kids truly were throwing rocks at them and such, the tiger gets shot for acting like any wild animal would if it were getting hit with rocks.

Wow, now that's a story to tell.
