Tiger Roundup: Let's start in
San Francisco.The two survivors mauled by a Siberian tiger in a San Francisco Zoo were in stable condition this afternoon and looking "fantastic" as investigators continued trying to determine how the 300-pound cat escaped from its enclosure.
The victims - ages 19 and 23 - were clawed and bitten by the female tiger after she killed another visitor Christmas Day.
Reason 748 why zoos are horribly depressing and people should never support them. Then there's
this:A veterinarian at the Dallas Zoo performed a necropsy Thursday on a female tiger found shot to death near an apartment complex, a zoo official said.
The tiger did not belong to the zoo and was believed to have been someone's pet. It was found Christmas Day in a vacant lot near a busy interstate and an apartment complex, said zoo spokeswoman Susan Eckert.
The tiger had all its teeth. Zoo officials said they believe it was someone's pet because it was declawed and had a collar around its neck. It also had a leash that appeared to be a bicycle chain, Eckert said.
What a bunch of sick-os. What part of "wild" in "wild animal" do people find so hard to understand?
