It’s sounding more and more like the tiger was the real victim just based upon these assholes’ current actions:

Brother in tiger attack gets 16 months in prison

Last Christmas, Amritpal “Paul” Dhaliwal, his brother and longtime friend Carlos ran, bloodied and terrified, as a 250-pound Siberian tiger at the San Francisco Zoo attacked them after escaping from its cement enclosure.

But this year, it’s likely 20-year-old Dhaliwal will spend the holiday locked away.

Dhaliwal was sentenced to spend more than a year in state prison this week in connection with a series of run-ins with the law, unrelated to the Christmas Day tiger mauling that wounded him and his brother and left his younger friend, Carlos Sousa Jr., dead.

Today, Paul Dhaliwal’s rap sheet includes everything from evading arrest to probation violations for fleeing from sheriff’s deputies while pushing speeds more than 130 mph on the highway. In a few weeks, he’s headed to San Quentin prison.

The rescuers shot the wrong animal.

“It’s clear that Paul Dhaliwal doesn’t seem to understand that he has to live within the requirements of civilized society,” said Santa Clara County Deputy District Attorney Stuart Scott.
