You don’t think there is an assumed level of safety when one enters a zoo. I remember kids yelling etc at animals and I don’t think it would be ok for the animal to kill them!
Bigots and the KKK are not friends of mine. Fortunately, for me I burnt my hand on a hot stove when I was 8…it was my fault as I had been warned previously… and found out it was a bad idea to do that again…that’s where that responsibility thing comes in that people don’t accept these days. It didn’t have anything to do with the Bible. By the way I’ve been an agency owner for more than 20 years and always understood the risk of one is to be spread among many in the same risk category. If it weren’t for underwriting, many risks would be paying an unfair share of losses. Just like kids playing in or around a lion’s cage is a risk that is taken on by the kid, not by the city or the zoo. Same thing for building in an EQ prone area is the responsibility of the owner of the home, not the state.
If I remember correctly, the tiger escaped its enclosure because the kids were dangling their legs into the cage and the tiger used their legs to climb out.
That goes beyond normal taunting the animal. Would you expect the kids to have assumed safety if they jumped into the enclosure? Why would they have it for going part way in? If you stuck your arm inside the lion’s cage and he bit it, would that also be the zoo’s fault?
When you house an extremely dangerous animal there should be no possibility of anyone having any possible access. I’m certainly no attorney, but wouldn’t this be absolute liability? These idiot kids should not have been able to do anything remotely this moronic.

Unfortunately, you are dealing with kids of families probably stupid enough to live where there are earthquakes and wildfires too and then expect the rest of us to subsidize their lack of foresight. They don’t understand personal responsibility. I won’t be surprised to see the city pay. It already allows same sex marriage and that’s just going to cost all of us more in health insurance premiums. Common sense and personal responsibility are not known to many northern and southern Californians.

I don’t know where you are from Responsibility, but I doubt that you have enough 1st hand information to make such (stupid)statements.

Here, hold my beer while I tease this wild tiger. Oh ya, get my lawyer on the phone in case I get mauled while I tease this wild tiger.

Why is same-sex marriage going to cost us more in health insurance and what does that have to do with tiger attack liability?
Bad actions have bad consequences. Don’t make us pay for bad/risky behavior regardless of what the courts say.
