I don't know the entire story just yet. But-
My GIRLfriend told me that at Brookfield Zoo recently (it might have even been today) some lady tried to pet a sleeping coyote. She jumped the "Keep the Hell Out You Dumb-Ass Human" sign and went up to the coyote sleeping up against the cage. She startled it and it jumped around and grabbed her by the arm (with its mouth, for they have no opposible thumbs). I assume she tasted good because it wouldn't let go. So, of course, she screamed, the kids screamed, and everyone else screamed for ice cream loud enough to get the attendants to "help." They were going to tranquilize it, but for some reason they wouldn't or, rather, couldn't. Maybe they were worried about the stuff going into the dumb-ass human? My GIRLfriend didn't hear why. So the only thing left to do was to kill it.
I am not trying to save any whales here, but this makes me sick. Zoos don't just have any animals. They often have certain breeds that may be extinct if they were not in captivity. Apparantly, this coyote was one of those special breeds. I am not sure how rare it was, but it was different in some way. I hope they press charges against said dumb-ass human for tresspassing or whatever they can. And I hope Rover hit an irreplacable tendon and/or ligament. I also hope it wasn't a child that was being ignored by their parents. Or even worse, was told by thier parents to "go pet the doggie" so they could get a picture.
Regardless of the reason- some dumb-ass human has struck again.
