This came across the AP headlines today, happy to see it make national news!
Goooooooo Mr. Moo!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Steer Escapes From Ohio Slaughterhouse
"Searchers on the ground and in a sheriff's department helicopter Monday were looking for an Angus steer that postponed its date with a slaughterhouse by bolting out a gate that had been inadvertently left open.
The more than 1,000-pound animal escaped from a slaughterhouse holding pen Monday morning and ran into the woods of suburban Cincinnati, according to Colerain Township police and the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office.
The steer was last seen heading into woods several blocks north of Stehlin's Meat Market and Interstate 275, said Dick Stehlin, co-owner of the meatpacking business. He said the bovine should be approached with caution.
"It's not, say, a mean animal or anything like that, it's just sort of in a panic stage," Stehlin said. "It's just out running, not even knowing where it's heading."
It's not the first time a steer has been on the loose in the Cincinnati area. In September 2006, a steer named Little Red ran from a fair and eluded capture for three days."

Yep, like the beautiful Bengal tiger Tatiana here at the SF zoo. Shoot first, ask questions later.

That was horrible. Zoo staff should have been at the ready w/ tranquilizer darts....and should have responded immediately. It never should have escalated to the point it did.
MTA - I wish they had cameras to see what really happened, what triggered Tatiana and gave her reason to jump the moat, climb the wall, and attack. I feel horrible for the family, but I don't believe for a second that she just went completely bonkers.

I agree... let's see... four boys, all who have been in major trouble before, they leave home on xmas and their families don't know they left or where they went... they are drunk and smoking dope, at minimum... there are wrist rockets, and many rocks and other items in the cages of several animals including the tiger... the boys were seen taunting the animals so violently that other visitors had to leave the areas they were in... they were standing on top of the wall, shooting at the tiger... what was she supposed to do? she acted like a tiger under attack when kept out in a very open and exposing place, essentially backed into a corner all the time, a very stressful place to live....

People are stupid. Our jaw dropped about the poor tiger. The boys admitted to taunting the tiger. I got this e-mail the other day about police after Katrina shooting peoples family dogs just for the heck of it. I was outraged. The whole purpose of the e-mail was that they were supposed to be tried for it and they dropped it. There was enough evidence to get these trigger happy jerks put away but no I guess shooting poor lost defenceless dogs is okay in Luiseanna's books.
