Then I suggest you try watching a different news channel. I've seen interviews with the local chief of police (or somesuch) justifying their actions because it was getting dark, and animals were attempting to run for cover. As others have pointed out, it would be pretty hard to justify anything they did that allowed a wild animal to escape and potentially harm local residents. I've also seen interviews with Jack Hanna (well known animal handler, and director of the nearby Columbus Zoo) supporting the police action. I've gleaned this reporting from my local San Francisco CBS TV outlet, BBC World News America, the San Jose Mercury News, and the Internet. None of these sources could be characterised as right-wing; in fact most of them are often named as part of the liberal media conspiracy. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
