All I Want For Christmas is A Stuffed Tiger...

but not a real tiger stuffed with a zoo visitor:
SAN FRANCISCO — A tiger escaped from its cage at the San Francisco Zoo on Tuesday, killing one visitor and injuring two others, a newspaper reported.

The tiger was shot and killed, San Francisco Fire Department spokesman Lt. Ken Smith told the San Francisco Chronicle. It was not immediately clear how the tiger escaped.

The attack happened in a cafe at the east end of the zoo shortly after the 5 p.m. closing time, the Chronicle reported. The tiger cages are near the center of the zoo.
The zoo was evacuated.

Police officers and firefighters are investigating.

The biggest surprise for me is that the zoo was open on Christmas Day. Even the tigers know that's wrong.
