SF Zoo Tiger Attack "Victim" Goes to Prison
You'll recall the tiger attack that occurred last Christmas at the San Francisco Zoo. In it, Paul Dhaliwal and his older brother Kulbir, along with their friend Carlos Sousa Jr., were attacked by a tiger who escaped from her enclosure.
Sousa was fatally mauled.
Since then, there have been allegations that the brothers and Sousa taunted the tiger before the attack, although it was also revealed that the zoo's fence was lower than the recommended height.
Of course, please note the word "recommended." Even if it was too low, there isn't a legal requirement for height, just a recommendation. This, plus the alleged taunting, as well as the legal problems of both Paul Kulbir, are why the word victim appears in quotes.
Despite this, of course, the brothers have sued.
Well, if Paul is going to enjoy his money (assuming they win or settle), it will be in prison.
He has been sentenced to 16 months in prison for violating probation in a felony reckless driving case.
He was arrested in March for shoplifting.
