urbpanSorry I jumped to blame the victim, but it appears I was right.
Okay, so the wall was four feet shorter than the AZA recommendations state. It still took 60 years for someone to be obnoxious enough to annoy the tiger into jumping out.
Here's where the zoo is really culpable: these three guys apparently drunkenly roamed the zoo taunting animals conspicuously enough for zoo guests to report it, for some amount of time, without security throwing them out. But once again, it was Christmas day, and I imagine they were short staffed.
When someone dies for a stupid reason, there's enough blame to go around for everyone.

However, after Andrew I don't recall seeing some of that down there. (Alot of the zoo is still being repaired.)
