Even a severely provoked tiger should not physically be able to leap out of its enclosure.

I guess the inspectors will have to be held accountable. It's obvious the fence was too low.

The Associated Press: Zoo Director Says Tiger Wall Was Low
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The director of the zoo where a teenager was killed by an escaped tiger acknowledged Thursday that the wall around the animal's pen was just 12 1/2 feet high — well below the height recommended by the accrediting agency for the nation's zoos.

Actually, the public should not be in a position to be able provoke the tiger in the first place; I'll bet this changes very soon. Having apparently done so, however, at least one of these idiots has removed himself from the gene pool and is well deserving of a Darwin Award.

If he wasn't taunted, he wouldn't of jumped out to "DEFEND" himself from getting pelted with rocks.
Hey I got an idea! Why don't you come over and stand below my 6' fence and let me use my wrist rocket and pelt you with stones as you try to get to me cause your PISSED and it HURTS.
Azzhole! CASE CLOSED!

Even animals get an adrenaline rush when angered. True - the wall was high enough to pass inspection for years, but evidently nobody had ever enraged the tiger before and his physical abilities were underestimated. The whole story is horrible and no, the two surviving brothers will probably never admit they were tormenting that tiger with slingshots. As for the boy who was killed - we will never know for sure if he did any provoking or not.
For those of us that lived there...
Someone told me
Its all happening at the zoo.
I do believe it,
I do believe its true.
Its a light and tumble journey
From the east side to the park;
Just a fine and fancy ramble
To the zoo.
But you can take the crosstown bus
If its raining or its cold,
And the animals will love it
If you do.
Somethin tells me
Its all happening at the zoo.
The monkeys stand for honesty,
Giraffes are insincere,
And the elephants are kindly but
Theyre dumb.
Orangutans are skeptical
Of changes in their cages,
And the zookeeper is very fond of rum.
Zebras are reactionaries,
Antelopes are missionaries,
Pigeons plot in secrecy,
And hamsters turn on frequently.
What a gas! you gotta come and see
At the zoo.

You know... I've been saying the same thing about murderers and rapists for decades, but some how they are always able to get released from their enclosures and kill and maim. Maybe if we could shoot them down like that tiger was shot down...

Or...
...maybe build cages with higher walls so they can NEVER get out and hurt innocents again?

That song was used for a long time for the SF Zoo advertisement.

Yeah I'm a Northern Cali boy.
Went back 2 yrs ago this past November. Flew into Oakland. Went to SF and did the bar crawl. Stayed a few days in SF. Then drove down to Pacifica and went Horse back riding on the beach for the day. I think it was about 70 degrees.

Jet Blue had a special, by one ticket the other was free. Stayed at the Marc. Took the trolly downtown and walked from there. Love the Wharf. You wouldn't believe how much it's changed.
My new job is based out of Cali. They are sending me to New Mexico on the 8th -15th. I come home for 12 days and leave again for Off Shores Alabama. I'll hit Cali again this year.
I'll take you with me. 
All expenses paid. Except booze. 
Put that as one of your resolutions.
