When we first read SFist Jim's email, we thought he was talking about the tiger statue (we were like, "they made a bust of Tatiana?  So fast!"), but no, he meant the crowds, which were sparse to the point where there was more media there than zoo visitors.  </p>

<p>And -- oh, San Francisco.  Where else do they leave presents for killer tigers?  Remember the (admittedly in the minority) pro-Presa Canario <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2002/01/31/MN87204.DTL">response</a> after <a href="http://www.courttv.com/trials/dogmaul/">Dianne Whipple was killed</a>?  Will they put up a bust of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_White">Dan White</a> to sit next to the one of <a href="http://sfist.com/2007/01/10/harvey_milk_sculpture_competition.php">Harvey Milk</a>?  For the record, the zoo is saying that the tributes being left at the statue are for both Tatiana and Carlos Sousa Jr., though we don't think the <a href="http://www.myspace.com/sosomanywhitewhitetigers">white stuffed tiger</a>, above, is intended for the victim.  </p>
