Hey, stupid is as stupid does but, if you check the crime stats, most
crime & mayhem is committed by male teens & early twenties.

And if I made a similar remark about certain issues and estrogen I'd be flamed.

Sexist comments are sexist comments.

The zoo was at fault here, the boy in fact may have done something stupid but the wall was way below what is mandated and that tiger has a history for gods sake a young man is dead.

Anyone hear of a TRANQUILIZER GUN??? Such a sad tragedy and all at human hands and stupidity.

Those people had no damn business being in their space. That kid got what he deserved.

Its hard to charge someone who is dead. I am sure the SF zoo will be penalized, they have a history of problems.

From the LA Times:

Police Chief Fong said the first report that a tiger was loose and might have injured people came in to fire dispatch at 5:07 p.m. Tuesday and that police were dispatched a minute later. She said police found Sousa outside the tiger enclosure and then located the tiger a few hundred yards away at the Terrace Cafe. She said officers saw the tiger sitting by an injured person and then saw the animal begin to attack that person.

And a tranq gun would have helped the human victim how? Tranquilizers take time to work, and the dosage needs to be fairly accurate.

The story also goes on to say that they were reluctant to shoot the tiger because of the proximity of the victim, but had no choice when the tiger charged them.
