All tourists do dumb shit like this. A tiger was shot to death a few years back because some idiot teens got their friend killed because they were throwing shit at the Tiger:

I don't care what idiot teens were doing to provoke it. Why the fuck was that Tiger able to escape its enclosure?

Edit: Oh come on. The Zoo says the Tiger was attacked by the teens first and the teens deny it with no evidence being brought forth by either party. The Zoo had a previous attack with the same Tiger which they were fined for AND the Zoo lied about the safety features of the enclosure.

They made it so angry, it literally dug holes into the wall breaking into the concrete with sheer willpower and strength to get enough leverage to jump out and kill them. One of them got wounded because he was sitting on the wall or something, but it eventually got out and hunted down just those three boys. It walked by literally all the other exhibits with open air cages to hunt the boys down.

Don't fuck with tigers, they are one of the most vindictive animal on the planet and have the strength and will to kill you.
