Taunted Tiger
Before the tiger, Tatiana, lunged out of its cage at a zoo in San Francisco, the three men attacked by this animal were said to be taunting it. But they had to be more than taunting the tiger for it to climb up a wall and maul the three men, one of which ended up dead. All three men had blood alcohol levels of 0.16 and marijuana in their systems. I think that these men had to do something other than taunt this animal for it to attack like it did. I do think that the tiger should have been more confined so it could not have gotten out of its cage as easily as it did, but I also think that zoo visitors should be watched more closely so if they are doing something wrong they can be asked to leave. In the end, I think the tiger just got back at the men for whatever they did to it.

I think the federal government should do more for the safety of visitors at city zoos. Maybe through tax stimulus, the zoos could invest in taller fences and breathalizers at the entrance gates.
I can't find anything in this post that relates to class, so it (and comments in response) can't get any credit.
Tigers are wild animals. People should alwalys be mindful of that one word "WILD".
