No doubt you heard of the 17-year-old who was mauled to death by a tiger at the San Francisco Zoo.
And, if you read the Chron, you’ve seen the 1631 comments abusing the victims of the attack for their alcohol intoxication when the attack occured (among other signs of irresponsible behavior).
But you probably don’t know that Berkeley resident Sam Singer is the official PR guy for the Zoological Society of San Francisco, the managers of the zoo.
With his impressive resume of experience, is Singer just skewing the facts about irresponsible behavior to keep the crowds at the zoo?
Maybe so, but we don’t think the accident is entirely the zoo’s fault.
We feel sorry for the family who now suffers a loss. But there is a reason why the tiger attacked these drunk teenagers specifically.
And we’re not siding with Singer because he’s our neighbor and went to Berkeley High School. We’re not even completely siding with Singer. We just know how foolish and immature inebriated teenagers can be (hint: see freshmen during welcome week).
