The only real winners in this one will be the attorneys who can use all this to generate fees.
I'd live to a few years ago in San Francisco, for 25 years. In that time there were only two pretty large attractions I'd neglected to visit.
One of them was the Cable Car museum.
The other was the zoo.

I hope this dean of high stakes ambulance chasers, Geragos, gets stiffed on this one.
I have yet to see the zoo myself. After the mauling a year ago, I was thinking I'd better go while it's still around, no telling what might happen. I'm going to stop by one day soon.
A growing, though likely small contingent favors getting rid of urban zoos altogether, instead going with larger rural retreats. Animals would have a better life and visitors would always be with a group of some size, on semi-regular tours.
Some letter writers to the SF Chron said they have frequently seen harrassment of zoo animals by teenagers. Something lousy in the symbolic lesson there.
