have to agree, nothing sells more papers than a little controversy....

direct quotes

"After Williams returned to the goat exhibit, she saw a zoo keeper attempting CPR on the goat, but it was too late."

then

Williams said she believes zoo officials may have taken too long to reach the goat.

"It was quite a few minutes," she said. "It wasn't five. It was probably more."

how did she know, she wasn't there and "she believes" ?????? who is she and what does she do??????

this is the media making a story from a tragic situation, is it a horrible shame??, yes but it's hard to lay blame not actually being there.

Yes, even this quote ....."It wasn't five. It was probably more."....is somewhat contradictory. The first part..."It wasn't five. ...."...is definitive. But the second part...".... It was probably more."....is not, and actually suggests that maybe the first part is not so definitive at all. Clearly said by someone who didn't know facts.

LOL, sorry...I should hang like a goat...

I saw the interview with the woman and it was my understanding she had told the dim bulb in the gift shop about the entanglement with the rope....to which the gal replied they do that all the time. It was my understanding in the interview that she went back again after the goat fell, and was strangling.

Maybe I saw it wrong. Or maybe, where is that video? So I can watch it again to be sure?

Oh well, let's go breed more elephants !!! Whoo Hoooo !!!
