Loose tiger kills visitor at San Francisco Zoo

SAN FRANCISCO, May 9 (UPI) -- The city of San Francisco has denied a claim for compensation filed by two brothers who survived a tiger attack at the San Francisco Zoo, documents reveal.

A city attorney's office letter dated Thursday claims there is "no indication of liability on the part of the city and county" for the tiger attack that injured San Jose, Calif., brothers Kulbir and Paul Dhaliwal and killed a friend of theirs, Carlos Sousa Jr., the San Francisco Chronicle reported Friday.

The letter suggests the brothers filed a claim for monetary compensation from the non-profit San Francisco Zoological Society, which runs the zoo.

The brothers claimed in their filing against the city that they suffered severe injuries as a result of the attack as well as serious emotional harm.
