Yikes.

It seems increasingly clear that the kids should be held responsible and that it would be appropriate for the survivors to have to pay a fine to the zoo (I have no idea what the cost of a Siberian tiger is or whether it is at all realistic to expect them to shoulder the replacement costs).

But it is hard for me to see anything other than a tragedy for all concerned here. A young man died here. Even if you argue that he deserved what he got (I am not sure that I would agree but it is certainly up for debate), his family will be left with that hole for the rest of their lives. I am sad that the tiger was killed but I find that even more saddening.
