Pay a fine?!? Getting killed isn't enough punishment? How about if they fed the kid's corpse to the other tigers? And who killed the tiger? Not the kids. Why did the tiger get killed? Not because the kids bothered it, it was because it got out of its inadequate enclosure and killed someone. Let the dope who ok'd the poor design pay for a new tiger, or the people that built the enclosure. I think the dead kid has paid for his mistake, and I'm guessing that the ones who survived won't do anything similar anytime soon. The zoo is completely at fault here. If their tigers are so sensitive, why don't they put plexiglass between them and the humans. Or maybe they should just have a rickety short, little fence, and they could ask everyone to sign a waiver saying that if someone--anyone--annoys the tigers, someone--anyone--might get killed by that tiger. Then people might behave a little better. Seriously though, I agree, this is a tragedy.
