#136 Don't Taunt Wild Animals

Trail of blood apparently led escaped tiger to victims

First off, taunting animals at the zoo is a pretty clear sign that you're a pretty despicable asshole.

Second, sometimes those animals get so pissed off they will do anything to get back at you and Carlos Sousa Jr. learned that one the hard way.

Note, my conclusions are based on the available information about the incident. The footprint on the railing, the debris in the moat indicating the three had been throwing things at the tigers and the sneer present in every picture of Carlos I've seen. He comes across like a kid with a big chip on his shoulder. If he and his two friends didn't instigate the attack then I will offer my apologies but I think they did incite the tiger to violence by being assholes.

Carlos paid for it with his life, his two friends got seriously wounded and have had surgeries to repair the damage they suffered. I wonder if they learned their lesson?

Rule #136 is Don't Taunt Wild Animals
