tigers have been in that enclosure for 40 years. none have ever eaten people before. that tiger was beyond provoked.
so how does one test the limits of an enclosure? people want to get as close as they possibly can. i've been going to that zoo since i was a wee lad. i never got eaten. we always went to feeding time at the tiger area. it was really cool. 10 feet away while they tore into chunks of meat. the lions would roar and you could here it everywhere. it was a huge cement room. almost like an ampitheatre (sp) with a wall of cages along one side. one of the highlights of my childhood.
if my neighbor had a pitbull and i went to the front window of their house and tapped on it until the dog jumped thru the glass and bit me, who would be to blame?
