a shame about tatiana

the bay area tiger who slipped the surly bonds of its enclosure and, commendably, killed two teenagers before being shot. don't feel bad for the teenagers. they aren't people—they're the reason shows like "american idol", "big brother" & "home and away" remain on tv. in any case there are plenty of teens to go around. tigers, alas, are scarce. and getting scarcer.

authorities suspect tatiana was abetted in its escape. an accomplice, what? there invariably is in these cases. there's a very guilty looking zebra skulking about the place. wouldn't be surprised if he gave tatiana a boost over the fence. probably a whole gang of 'em involved. there's more to this story. just wait and see.

Only one teenager was terminated (though Tatiana tried her best with the other two), and it appears that the fence was considerably shorter than first reported. Still, I'm not sure if the zebra is in the clear. Stay tuned.

was this the story from LA or was there another incident identical then?

You're right: Too many teenagers, too few Tigers
