Video | Photos | Map (01-04) 19:38 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- Soon after their 17-year-old friend was mauled to death by a tiger at the San Francisco Zoo, the two brothers who survived the attack made a quick pact not to cooperate with the police as they rode in an ambulance to the hospital, sources told The Chronicle.

"Don't tell them what we did," paramedics heard 23-year-old Kulbir Dhaliwal tell his brother, Paul, 19.

Sources also say that the younger brother was intoxicated at the time of the incident, having used marijuana and consumed enough liquor to have a blood-alcohol level above the .08 limit for adult drivers. The older brother also had been drinking and using marijuana around the time a 350-pound Siberian tiger escaped and killed Carlos Sousa Jr., the sources said

1. This story just gets worse and worse.

Looks as if the zoo has been very negligent. It obviously has to do a better job of improving its barriers in order to protect the animals from the people. Because if it doesn't, the animals are going to take care of the people problem themselves. And then, they're going to have to pay for it.

5. This story is similar to the Natalie Hollway story... the perps know something but arent' speaking.

2. CNN reported today that they are refusing to let the Police examine their Cell phones too

Probably have camera phone pictures on them that would give more clues as to what happened.

Frankly, I'm amazed that nobody has said they have any video of the attack, I wonder if the Zoo has Closed circuit T.V, cameras of the Tiger area?

3. oops, wrong place!

7. The Chronicle reported...

...a few days ago, that there were no cameras near the large cat enclosure so there would be no video to be had from zoo sources. Maybe if someone else was nearby... but it was after closing time.

9. We can find out what they did - waterboard 'em

But whatever stupid thing those kids did, that tiger should not have been able to leave his area. Bad zoo!

10. So maddening if these kids did taunt this tiger

I'm very sorry that one of them was killed - but if they "caused" this attack I'm even sorrier the tiger was killed....


If they did taunt - all I can say STUPID EFFING IDIOTS
