Police examining items for signs tiger was taunted
Police are investigating if several items found in the cage of a tiger who fatally mauled a 17-year-old man show that the animal was attacked or taunted. The police are trying to determine wether the items found in the cage or any other things that happened on Christmas Day had to do with the attack of the tiger. "Something prompted our tiger to leap over the exhibit and all I can do is ensure that's never going to happen again at the San Francisco Zoo," said the facility's director Manuel Mollinedo. The 300-pound Siberian tiger apparently jumped a 12-foot wall December 25and killed Carlos Sousa and injured his friends. The wall was determined to be nearly 4 feet shorter than industry standards. A source close to the investigation said the rock found in the habitat measured 9 inches and a tree branch and pine cones were found that came from trees that were not near the tiger's enclosure.
Opinion
I think that it is kind of hard to tell whether this tiger was taunted or attacked. But I also think that these police should have helped the guys when they were asking for help. I think that this zoo should just close down since they do not guard their animals really well.

Five things not to do in the ER
Glenn Beck describes that when he went to the emergency room no one helped hima and no one gave him medications for the pain. It is also sad that he is not the only one that had to wait for service there are many other patients having to wait in the emergency room for more than 50 minutes. Here are some things that the ER recommends patiens to do before going to the ER or when they are waiting in the ER
1. Don't forget to call your doctor on the way to the ER
2. Don't use an ambulance unless you really need it
3. Don't be quiet
4. Don't get angry, and don't lie
5. Don't forget the phone
Opinion
I think that this is a good idea that the doctors give us really good advice in order to get fast service. It is sad to know that many of the people in the emergency room are very sick and they do not get attended. But the doctors need to hurry up in order to help the other patients.

These are supposed to be international stories.
