In the Company of Dunces

Brookfield wolf killed after visitor is attacked.

Cinnamon Bear, an 11-year-old wolf born and raised at the zoo, was shot once in the chest Wednesday by a zoo police officer after the 100-pound animal clamped down on the woman’s arm–and refused to let go–when she apparently tried to pet him.

Sad and Outrageous. I think they should have tranquilized the woman instead and waited for the aging wolf to fall asleep.
