Fighting like ... tigersThe battle between the San Francisco City Attorney's Office and lawyer Mark Geragos is getting hot. Geragos, who doesn't mess around, is representing the two young men who were injured in the tiger attack; Herrera is trying to limit the city's liability here.
Check out the exchange of letters here.
Of course, part of what Geragos is mad about is the way Sam Singer, the press flack for the zoo, has been slinging mud at the victims. The Chron, in a stunning puff piece, puts Singer forward as a brilliant crisis-communications consultant. So far, all he's done is screw this up.
In fact, after all the claims out of Singer about how the kids were at fault, CNN reports that the kids won't be charged with anything.

The animal "rights" kooks and crackpots were doing what they always do when a person is attacked by an animal - starting up the spin machine.
A perfect example is a dog (Congo) in Princeton NJ that attacked a landscaper on the owner's property. There were also 5 other of the owner's dogs involved in the attack.
The landscaper was accussed of hitting the dog with a rake. Yep, just as I thought. All landscapers walk onto a property and start hitting 6 dogs with a rake for no reason!!!!
Congo was declared "vicious" (UNPROVOKED ATTACK) by the court and sentenced to be euthanized.
Hold the phone---NOT in NJ...
NJ legislators are considering a new law - "Congo's Law" that will free this vicious dog and give it another chance to attack again!!!!!
What NJ needs to do is pass Lillian's Law (Texas)instead!!!
Accusing the victims of "taunting" the tiger is nothing more than what these kooks do when a 4 year old is attacked by a pit bull. They spin the story to blame the victim - no matter how old!
In the tiger attack case, the spin machine was instantly started before any facts were gathered. The very first report I heard indicated that the victims might have been taunting the tigers. They never said there were any witnesses. The animal "rights" kooks know all they have to do is start the spin machine and it will take on a life of its own.
I hope the victims get a hefty settlement.
Animal "rights" nut cakes should have to pay for it.
