You people know how I enjoy a good man-gets-eaten-by-wild-animals story. Unfortunately, this one didn't quite deliver the hilarity it promised....
SAN FRANCISCO, California (CNN) -- A man snuck into the grizzly bear exhibit at the San Francisco Zoo Saturday but was rescued immediately afterward without incident, authorities said.
A zoo visitor alerted the facility's staff about the 27-year-old man's presence inside the enclosure, said spokeswoman Gwendolyn Tornatore.
Staffers fired a warning shot to keep the two bears away from the man, before securing them inside their dens, Tornatore said in a statement.
First, if a dude wants to feed himself to the grizzly bears, let him. It'd be a rare and excellent wildlife-in-action lesson for onlookers, as well as a what-NOT-to-do-at-the-zoo cautionary tale.
Second, instead of firing a warning shot to scare the bears away, why not just shoot the idiot in the enclosure? The bears would have to work less hard for their meal that way.
Ohhhh, Ed.
