Podcasts 911 audio from tiger attack at S.F. Zoo And victim's family hired a high profile attorney: Latest news on tiger attack
Victims 'taunted tiger' before it killed zoo visitor http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,,2243021,00.html Documents showed that Sousa's father, Carlos Sousa Sr, said Dhaliwal had told him the three had stood on a metal railing just a few feet from the edge of the tiger moat. "When they got down they heard a noise in the bushes, and the tiger was jumping out of the bushes on him (Paul Dhaliwal)," the affidavit revealed. Police later found a partial shoe print that matched Dhaliwal's on top of the railing, Matthews said in the documents. The Siberian tiger attacked the three men on Christmas Day last year after leaping over a 1m (3ft) wall and out of its enclosure. Both brothers suffered serious bite and claw wounds in the attack. Zoo officials have since acknowledged that the wall was 1.2m (4ft) shorter than the recommended minimum. The affidavit also revealed that Kulbir and Sousa both had alcohol in their blood, but within the legal driving limit. All three had mar1juana in their systems. Kulbir Dhaliwal told police that the three had smoked pot and each had "a couple shots of vodka" before leaving San Jose for the zoo on Christmas Day, the affidavit said. Police found a small amount of mar1juana in Kulbir's car, which the victims had driven to the zoo, as well as a partially drunk bottle of vodka, according to court documents. Zoo spokesman Sam Singer said he had not seen the documents but believed the victims did taunt the animal, even though they claim they had not. "Those brothers painted a completely different picture to the public and the press," Singer said. "Now it's starting to come out that what they said is not true." Mark Geragos, a lawyer for the Dhaliwal brothers, was not available for comment yesterday. He has repeatedly said the men did not taunt the tiger. Calls to Sousa's father and Michael Cardoza, a lawyer for the Sousa family, were not returned.
saw this in the NY Post also. Can't say I'm really shocked. And they had the audacity to file a lawsuit
Who hasn't had a few shots, smoke a blunt then went to the zoo to taunt the animals? I'm 100% sure this isn't the first time this has happened. I could tell that Gorrilla really want to mess me up but he was in a cage and I wasn't. Ha who's laughing now gorrilla?
yeah that's the saddest part of the whole thing. yes it's tragic that someone died over this, but his own stupidity caused the entire thing.
the zoo is still responsible for building an enclosure that keeps the animals in their exhibits. what if a little kid wandered a few feet a way from his parents and threw a rock in there? i'm not going to pretend to know the breaking point of the tiger and what made it jump the fence, but nobody deserved to die, regardless of how dumb they may have been acting.
the police found a foot print matching one of the victims shoe on top of the fence enclosing the pen. these kids were drunk and high. taunted the tiger. may have even entered the pen. may have thrown things at the tiger. endangered other patrons at the zoo. i cant really feel sorry for them. yeah the wall was not built to specs but how many times had the tiger jumped out of the pen before? i think the zoo carries some responsibility but these kids carry the majority of the responsibility.
When you play w/ tiger, you're going to get churned. I'm so hilarious. Seriously though, I don't feel bad about this at all. The kids took a chance and they lost. They are responsible for their fate. On second thought I do feel bad...for the tiger.
yeah seriously, every single person at the zoo should sue the morons for endangering them. The families should kill the lawsuit and pray that none of the other patrons at the zoo that day are smart or vindictive enough to do this.
