San Francisco Zoo Simulates Jungle


San Francisco, CA - Visitors to the San Francisco Zoo were treated to real world conditions in the Nepal rainforest after a Bengal tiger jumped over a fence and began mauling them. "We constructed the tiger's fence four feet lower than industry standards to provide tourists the added risk of actually being in the wild," zookeeper Tucker Gowdy said, refusing to comment on the three people who were eaten by one of the tigers at the Rainforest Cafe Tuesday. "We've also decided to leave the lids off the Black Widow spider cages and we're opening a new exhibit next month that will provide visitors the opportunity to swim with red piranha from the Amazon River." Last year, the zoo was cited 18 times for failing to keep visitors safe. "One woman lost part of her foot at the alligator exhibit," Gowdy explained, "but it was her choice to walk the balance beam." Zoo patrons' reaction to being eaten alive was mixed. "What are the odds that you'll actually die?" asked Bill Greely, visiting from Colorado with his wife and three kids.
