Um... Newsflash... NO Newspaper is reputable
A reporter will do what it takes to get a story. I'm not dogging reporters, I'm just stating.
Oh come awn, everybody knows that if it's in the newspaper, TV or on the www. it is the gospel truth. Who cares if he'd been drinking, the question is why'd the tiger get out and how. Even if the drunken bum (and we don't know he was even drinking before going to the zoo) the tiger should not be able to get out, period.
