My mom is a school teacher at sanchez elementary. And went on a field trip to the sf zoo. Even she had many of her 5-6 year old students taunt the animals. But the zoo should be able to contain them.

More so they should be able to monitor the animals. The only reason the police shot the tiger was because the staff didnt know that the animal got out they had thought a fight had broken out and called the police.

I bet if 5yr old jimmy was attacked by the tiger even with taunting him everyone would be singing a different tune.

So my final word on this:

ITS A WILD ANIMAL, TAUNTED OR NOT IT SHOULD BE SAFLEY CONTAINED AND NOT ABLE TO ESCAPE.
