Child mauled to death by African painted dogs at Pittsburgh Zoo Read more: http://www.post-gazette.

Source: Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Officials of the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium confirmed this afternoon that a little boy was mauled to death today after falling into the African painted dog exhibit.
The incident occurred at 11:48 a.m. at the Highland Park complex, according to emergency dispatch supervisor. The zoo was shut down within a half-hour of the incident and will remain closed indefinitely.

...
Pittsburgh police officers and keepers attempted to lure the dogs away but one "aggressive" dog was shot and killed by an officer. Ms. Baker commended the officer, noting the dog would not move away from the child.
She said the zoo initially declared a "code blue," meaning an accident involving a human had occurred. That was followed with a "code red," meaning that there was a serious human emergency in play.

Very sad and disturbing. There need to be more security measures in place when such dangerous animals are involved.

What'd you do Saturday night?

We unfortunately missed the Obama rally, but we still went out west.

I went to Spudnuts in Mentor, OH (24 HR Coffees!) with my Partner(Wife ) who is expecting our first baby within a week or so. There were a bunch of kids there who were working for OFA just down the street, and they were living it up. I enjoyed the foods, coffee and drew a few things. What did you do (+photos)?
