i am sickened by the self righteous animal lovers of San Francisco who rail against the young men recently attacked by a tiger at our city zoo. i feel as though i'm surrounded by a pack of savage primitives, with a perverted sense of justice that involves feeding our delinquent youth to wild animals.

apparently the two survivors escaped, sought help, were ignored, and were attacked a second time by the tiger before it was shot by police. i can't think of anything more horrifying, and frankly can't blame them for being uncooperative with the authorities.

a tiger enclosure should be designed to keep a tiger from escaping even in the event of taunting and provocation. there's no way around that.
