I enjoyed reading the NY Times article on the San Francisco tiger attack this morning but I also posted a theory for my readers about the taunted tiger and a lucky leap. Waiting on Critter CSI for the verdict…

Which brings me to the question, who will be liable if that is the case? Would teasing a member of an endangered species to the point of retaliation that results in the death of the tiger (and the alleged instigator) put the liablity outside of the zoo and city of San Francisco?
