Despite posted warnings at The Lincoln Park Zoo in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, a women attempted to feed some Asiatic Black Bears, and lost some digits.

Police tell the Herald Times Reporter the bears likely won’t be euthanized.

Why would this incident warrant the possibility of euthanization?  Because warnings weren’t posted?  Because people certainly aren’t stupid enough to attempt feeding a wild predator?  Because wild animals in captivity are content with their new unnatural lifestyle and look forward to snacks delivered by natural prey?

Zoos should be abolished.
