Is it wrong that the living thing I feel the most sympathy for in this whole story is the tiger?

No, you don't tempt a tiger, ever. But the fact that concerns me most is that when the tiger was good and ready, regardless of the cause, it could get out. That is the scariest part.
Okay so normally it would stay in there, but let it get some extra adrenaline on any given day... then what?! NO tiger should be able to get out of one that is considered a safe enclosure for both its safety and my own. Luckily, it only attacked those who were "taunting" it. However, what if someone else had been harmed too? They would have been just standing around.
Now imagine if it was just a normal day and kids were waving and yelling or a school group was there and everyone's standing around and they're being loud and tiger gets a bit fussy...It's not supposed to come out. PERIOD. I go to the zoo to look, not interact.
Unfortunately, people probably tease animals all the time, hwoever, the zoo needs to be responsible for watching their animals, particularly their dangerous ones, for their health and our safety. Yes, it happens, but the thing is at probably almost any other zoo (at least one that is on the ball), no one would have died because tiger would have been pissed off yes, but pissed off inside the enclosure. End of story.

That would make me wrong, too.

I'd be curious to know if any of these boys' parents believed in Darwin's theory.
