From the News: Elephant Kills Keeper at Springfield, Missouri, Zoo

Elephant Kills Keeper at Springfield, Missouri, Zoo

John Phillip Bradford, 62, had spent three decades working with the animals he loved.  Zoo staff have suggested that there was a link between this incident and the recent death of the zoo's elephant matriarch - social confusion among the herd?  At any rate, the comments section of any news article are inevitably going to be filled with angsty anti-zoo folks at this point.  All that I feel needs to be said are condolences to the family of the zookeeper.
