Woman Bitten by Bear at Wisconsin Zoo, Fingers Severed Saturday, March 06, 2010 MANITOWOC, Wis. — Police say a bear bit off a woman's fingers at a Wisconsin zoo after she ignored barriers and warning signs to try to feed the animal. The Lincoln Park Zoo in Manitowoc closed after the incident Friday morning. Police say the 47-year-old woman lost a thumb and a forefinger, and two other fingers were partially severed. The woman's boyfriend was bitten as he tried to pry the bear's mouth off her hand, but he didn't lose any fingers. Her 3-year-old granddaughter wasn't injured. A mayor's office statement says alcohol played a factor. It's unclear which of two Asiatic black bears bit the women when she put her hand through their enclosure's fence. Police tell the Herald Times Reporter the bears likely won't be euthanized. Manitowoc is about 80 miles north of Milwaukee. -+-+- "If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun." - The Dalai Lama | ||

Alcoholism ? NO, Darwinism !! She should be arrested for giving alcohol laden food to the bear.  | |||

I saw this news story earlier today and thought who the hell is drunk at the zoo with their grandchildren at 7 a.m. Then I remembered I live in Wisconsin  | |||

Were they also charged with DUI? Was the DHHS notified immediately of a child in danger? | |||

Wonder if the drunk's daughter was at work, explaining her having the child? (doubt it)  I bet she'll have a hard time hoisting the bottle to her mouth now missing that thumb and index.(but I guarantee she figures it out)  | |||

The article is ambiguous on the part alcohol played. Maybe the bears were drinking! Asiatic Bears are mean drunks. NRA Endowment Member | |||
