[FEL-L] San Francisco Animal Handler mauled by Tiger

[Chufff at aol.com]

I was born and raised in the Bay Area and used to go to the SF zoo all the 
time. My favorite part was to watch the big cats being fed, although they had 
many cats more back then. The keeper would walk along the 4-foot-wide aisle, 
pushing a wheel barrow full of meat; with a metal rod that looked like a 
fireplace poker, he would spear a huge chunk of meat and place it in the cage through 
the bars with the cat clearly within reach of the keeper. The cats weren't 
locked out back then.

I hope they do not close that exhibit because of this incident.
