‘Member the guys in San Francisco who got mauled/killed by that tiger over the Christmas holiday? Turns out one of the guys who did not get killed admitted to being drunk during the experience:

One of the three victims of San Francisco Zoo tiger attack was intoxicated and admitted to yelling and waving at the animal while standing atop the railing of the big cat enclosure, police said in court documents filed Thursday.

Paul Dhaliwal, 19, told the father of Carlos Sousa Jr., 17, who was killed, that the three yelled and waved at the tiger but insisted they never threw anything into its pen to provoke the cat, according to a search warrant affidavit obtained by the San Francisco Chronicle.

Police found a partial shoe print that matched Paul Dhaliwal’s on top of the railing, Matthews said in the documents.

The papers said Paul Dhaliwal told Sousa that no one was dangling his legs over the enclosure. Authorities believe the tiger leaped or climbed out of the enclosure, which had a wall 4 feet shorter than the recommended minimum.

The affidavit also cites multiple reports of a group of young men taunting animals at the zoo, the Chronicle reported.

There you have it. Don’t drink and taunt a tiger kids. It could just be you who ends up being the last round.

    Yeah. Don’t they know that tiger taunting is like the urban equivalent of cow-tipping.

    I thought going to Home Depot and antagonizing illegals who are looking for work was the modern equivalent of cow tipping.

    My bad.

    Carry on.
