S.F. Zoo visitor saw 2 victims of tiger
attack teasing lions
Two victims of a lethal Christmas Day tiger attack were
harassing the big cats at the San Francisco Zoo shortly
before a 350-pound feline escaped its enclosure and mauled them, a woman told San Francisco Chronicle on
Wednesday.

The revelation comes as the zoo reopens Wednesday,
nine days after a visitor was killed and two of his friends
were injured by the Siberian tiger, later shot dead by
police.

Jennifer Miller, who was at the zoo with her husband
and two children that ill-fated Christmas afternoon, said
she saw four young men at the big-cat grottos - and
three of them were teasing the lions a short time before
the tiger's bloody rampage that killed 17-year-old
Carlos Sousa Jr.
Do you feel sorry for the victims or the big cat?
