My wife and I saw the tiger issue on the Web this morning. Coincidentally, my wife was preparing to head up to Hogle Zoo for docent duties she performs there.

I am sure that the staff was just mortified over this. Those folks care more for animals than anyone could ever believe. This was indeed a sad deal for all.
