A Breathtaking Dereliction

"Hey! Let's measure it!!": "'There have been a lot of different measurements regarding the moat,' zoo Director Manuel Mollinedo said Thursday. 'Today we went out and measured the moat ourselves.'"

"Measured the moat ourselves"???? Who in hell has been measuring it up to now? Is this guy for real?

And the online comments about this story boggle the mind. The tirade of visciousness directed at the 3 young male victims - absent any clear indication of their complicity or involvement, is unacceptable. One online commenter chimed in with "According to unnamed sources, when the "Tiger Whisperer" came in to find out what happened, the Tiger said "Who says you can't get good Mexican Food in San Francisco!"

For me, the 2 clear facts are that a beautiful Siberian tiger is a treasure, and that the most valuable animal at the zoo is always the visitor.
