    I've had a few bad first dates, but they usually don't want to kill me until we've been married a few years......Ben

    In the current climate of "#metoo", and seemingly ubiquitous claims of sexual molestation I thought it wise to contain my comments

    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.

    The death of the female tiger is unfortunate. And, I'll bet it's been an expensive mistake that was made by the staff involved. The zoo staff I know take these things personally and it does weigh upon them.

    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.
