SAN FRANCISCO — Visitors to the San Francisco Zoo placed flowers, cards and photographs near a sculpture of a bronze tiger Thursday in honor of the escaped tiger who was shot dead by police after mauling three people.
Nine days after the attack, the San Francisco Zoo reopened amid heightened scrutiny of its security procedures and a flurry of questions over the incident that led to a teenager's death.
The big cat enclosure where a 350-pound Siberian tiger escaped Christmas Day was closed and will remain so indefinitely, while visitors Thursday found a new public alert system and more signs around the facility warning people not to pester the animals.
Officials also noted that animal psychologists would be made available to counsel other tigers or any of the big cats that may have been traumatized by the event.
