In the rapidly-developing world of zoo-related vandalism, a topic that I never thought I'd have to devote so much study to, we have good news as well as bad. The good news is that the Dallas Police Department has announced an arrest in the case of the stolen tamarins. It's unclear at his point if the man arrested for this crime is also involved in the other acts of mischief and cruelty that have plagued the Texas zoo since the beginning of the year. It may seem too much of a coincidence that there could be multiple zoo-pranksters running amok. Well, unless the defendant has been super busy and very well traveled as of late (as in, crossing several states last night)... we might have to face that possibility.
Suspect arrested in case of tamarin monkeys missing from Dallas Zoo, police say
Rescuers monitoring Central Park Zoo owl after exhibit vandalized
Because as I write this, some very frustrated keepers from New York's Central Park Zoo are watching a Eurasian eagle owl sitting in a tree staring back down at them. Like the Dallas Zoo's clouded leopard which was loose last month, this owl did not get out on its own - the enclosure was vandalized. Staff have eyes on the bird and hope to trap it and get it home soon.
Seriously, though, what is going on here? A copycat wanting attention? Or something more sinister?
