So, any word back from the Zoo offices for a Tattiana bench?

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!

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?

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.

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.

Unrelated to City Budget ... The entire settlement will be paid by the Zoological Society's insurance carrier

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.
