There was a great tragedy on Christmas at the San Francisco Zoo…. But the fact a tiger killed 1 and hurt 2 more was only part of it…
“Somebody created a situation that really agitated her and gave her some sort of a method to break out,” zoo director Manuel Mollinedo was quoted as telling the newspaper.”There is no possible way the cat could have made it out of there in a single leap. I would surmise that there was help,” he said. “A couple
of
feet dangling
over the edgeA couple of feet dangling over the edge could possibly have done it.”The report also said “pinecones and sticks that were found in the moat might have been thrown at the animal. Those items could not have landed in the grotto naturally,” according to the sources.

That there said lots.
In some ways you’ll have to feel sorry for them, but seriously. Its bad enough to tease a freaking killer. But then to make it easier to attack you by dangling parts of yourself in its reach…. parts that it used to claw itself higher and into attacking you?
I wonder if we’ll ever get the full story. The Zoo is minus a tiger. Plus some real bad publicity, oh yeah and the Police…
When the Police Chief said that his officers raised their firearms and told it too stop or they where going to shoot…. I
lost it.stop or they where going to shoot…. I lost it. Seriously. I liked it better when the Head Zookeeper said they created a distraction. But the Chief made it sound like they where idiots. As if a Tiger would seriously stop what it was doing and “Raise it paws” because it was told too.
As more of the story comes out, I hope that the older brothers start telling the truth.
Edit: CNN just reported that the Wall was actually smaller then reported. So considering the strength of the Siberian Tiger… It may not of taken as much efforts. But still they didn’t answer why the shoe and part of the pants was IN the pen.
