Zoo tiger attack: Does tiger’s family get part of $900,000 settlement? http://www.ibabuzz.com/garybogue/2009/05/29/sf-zoo-tiger-attack-does-tigers-family-get-part-of-900000-settlement/ Tue, 23 Oct 2012 19:33:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: nickrnmaui http://www.ibabuzz.com/garybogue/2009/05/29/sf-zoo-tiger-attack-does-tigers-family-get-part-of-900000-settlement/comment-page-1/#comment-3537 nickrnmaui Thu, 25 Jun 2009 18:50:20 +0000 http://www.ibabuzz.com/garybogue/?p=1032#comment-3537 The boys provoked the tiger. They deserve it. If you taunt a big bully and he kicks your ass, or you taunt a gunman and he shoots you. You asked for it. I know some animal trainers @the zoo. They deal with these animals everyday. If the animal was not in captivity this could not happen. Don’t blame the tiger or the cage. You don’t vote to give the zoo more money for safety and upgrades but.. Mess with the bulls and you get the horns. Support your local zoo and animal shelters.

The Dhaliwal’s and their friends were wrong in what they did, the zoo was wrong in not protecting the lives of the animals it was responsible for, but poor Tatiana was just doing what she did best-being a tiger and for that she was killed, all for something that could have been prevented (by either the Dhaliwal’s OR the zoo) in the first place. How sad!

The zoo did nada. The zoo’s director Manuel Mollinado hired slander-man Sam Singer and then there suddenly were foreign objects in the exhibit. Mollinado & Singer tried to make it look like it was from before the attack but all photos and video evidenced that those items were not there immediately following Tatiana’s escape. Clearly the objects were PLANTED by someone who took part in a plot to distract attention from the zoo’s liability.

Does anyone know how much money the zoo paid Mollinado and Sam Singer? They should be wise enough to donate the funds to a cause supported the safety and wellbeing of other tigers. The tiger’s family deserves money too.

Thank you for reminding us that the real issue is that the tiger was not safe-kept. No matter who were the human victims in the case, that is the true issue.

If she could escape the enclosure, she wasn’t safe. The zoo got off cheap. In my opinion, the Dhaliwal brothers don’t deserve the settlement but, I suppose, they could have gotten more, thus the settlement. Unfortunately, I doubt the money will improve their lives. In fact, it may send them further down in a spiral. My sympathy is for Tatiana. Zoos are sad places.
