Remember the Tiger Attack Victims...?

The survivors are showing their true colors. I vaguely remember they were taunting the tiger.

I think they need to be reunited with the tiger.

Everybody who?
The only thing I was upset about was that they shot the tiger before he had a chance to kill the other two.True T.

I don't understand our justice system at all. How is it possible that the "victims" climbed over the fence to get in with the tigers & the zoo has to pay them $900,000 for THEIR stupidity? Makes absolutely no since to me.
Same with a burglar breaking into my house to rob, rape, kill (whatever), & they step on my son's skateboard & fall down the stairs & breaks his leg, MY INSURANCE HAS TO PAY FOR IT! I don't get it.Scot

The zoo had to add a bunch of video cameras after that as well, in addition the the loss of revenue from the zoo being closed for several weeks after the incident. As usual a couple of drunken goons ruin things for everybody.

So you can break into a tiger enclosure, get attacked (rightfully so) and walk away with almost $1 million? Wow, just wow.

I had to visit the zoo to consult for the video system installation. I cost a boat load to install since there was no underground conduit existing.
If you haven't been to this zoo it is hard to understand the amount of effort these two morons went through to get into that pen.
They should have shot the two and put the tiger back.Tim Tracy

Because it is less expensive and creates better press for the zoo to just pay them off than to fight it in court. It's simple economics, but it sends the wrong message. Originally Posted by Samckitt

They didn't get into the pen. The tiger jumped out. Originally Posted by TT302Z28

Again the real shame is that they shot the tiger before it killed the other two morons.True T.

I think you guys are talking about two different events. There was one where a couple goofs tried to get in for some odd reason, and then this one where the goofs pissed the tiger off and it was able to get to them somehow.
1970 RS/SS350 139K on the clock:
89 TPI motor w/ 1pc rear seal coupled to a Viper T56 via Mcleod's modular bellhousing w/ hydraulic T/O bearing from the Viper, 12 bolt rear w/ 3.73 gearing, SC&C upper control arms, factory lowers with Delalums, C5 brakes at all four corners, Front Wheels 17x8's with Sumi 255/40/17 and Rear Wheels 17x9's with Sumi 275/40/17.

Well the subject of this thread is the two Dhaliwal brothers who were at the SF zoo on Christmas day a few years back with a friend of theirs. They taunted the tiger, it jumped out and killed their friend before it was shot. They should have let the tiger kill the Dhaliwal brothers too.
