I don't buy the taugnting angle. What taunting would be required to get a well fed 300 lb tiger to jump a shear-sided 20 x 20 foot dry moat, where the opposing side is 12 feet higher?
- 50 lbs of Cat nip loaded into a bong?
- Michael Jackson dangling some butter dipped kids over the side?
- Someone bringing in a pet tiger that's in heat?
- Telling the Tiger it looked like Rosie O’Donald?
The taunting story sounds like something PETA would have planted.
