But we humans need to respect that these animals are hard-wired to be wild, they don't exist for our amusement and they are deserving of our respect and wonder.

I'm sure the families must be devastated, but I am so saddened that the tiger needed to be put down because the allegedly foolish kids allegedly taunted the beast. Such a loss!
