SAN FRANCISCO — The parents of a 17-year-old killed in a tiger attack at the San Francisco Zoo last Christmas sued the city and the zoo Tuesday.
Marilza and Carlos Sousa filed a wrongful-death suit Tuesday in San Francisco Superior Court, almost a year after Carlos Sousa Jr. was killed when a Siberian tiger escaped its enclosure.
The suit claims the enclosure’s wall was lower than the recommended national standard and alleges zoo officials ignored employees’ warnings that the wall was not tall enough. The family is seeking unspecified damages.
