Tatiana the tiger
This just in. Carlos Sousa, Jr.'s family, who sued SF Zoo over their son's 2007 Christmas Day tiger mauling death, has agreed to a settlement. According to today's release:
The parents of Carlos Sousa, Jr. have reached a mutually agreeable settlement with the San Francisco Zoological Society for an undisclosed amount. The entire settlement will be paid by the Zoological Society's insurance carrier and will result in a dismissal of all parties, including the City and County of San Francisco. As part of the settlement, the San Francisco Zoological Society has agreed to erect and maintain a bench in memory of Carlos Sousa, Jr. at the Zoo.
A bench? Sounds good. But we have to wonder how much they landed with the settlement. Hope it was enough to help the Sousa family gain some closure. If that's at all possible.

Undisclosed amount? This city is in a bad budget situation, and I think we the people have a right to know how much was settled.
Unrelated to City Budget ...
The entire settlement will be paid by the Zoological Society's insurance carrier
100,000
A bench?! These three hooligans got all liqoured/marijuanaed up, marched right over to the zoo, taunted a perfectly innocent tiger into attacking them, and the one who didn't manage to get away is going to be remembered with a bench?! Where's Tatiana's bench? Hah?! Since we're dedicating benches to the undeserving, why not just name the baby gorilla after the deceased? Unbelievable.
Millions and millions
shitbirds.
fuck yo bench!

Maybe we should raise money for a Tatiana bench with a plaque explaining what might have motivated her to leave her enclosure and attack three booze soaked hooligans.
haha yeah i'd chip in $5 for that.

where do i send a check?
May all parties rest in peace.
In. I'm up for $20 for the bench. We ought to get a coalition/charity up to collect the $500 or $1000 for Tatiana.
BTW: Tatiana. Wasn't that a character in a Tolstoy or Turgenev or Pushkin novel?
I left a message with the Zoo offices about getting a charity together for a Tatiana bench RIGHT NEXT TO SOUZA'S. I'll post when I hear back.
It's outrageous enough that they get rewarded for their son's stupidity, but for him to get a memorial bench? I'd vandalize the son of a bitch myself!
So, any word back from the Zoo offices for a Tattiana bench?
