Late last month at Menominee Park Zoo in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, a zoo worker left a gate open and a four-year-old child stuck his fingers through a chain-link fence—and a 12-year-old wolf named Rebel wandered up and nipped the child’s hand. Despite the zoo’s protestations, the Division of Public Health let the parents decide whether to give their child preventative rabies shots. If they didn’t want to, Rebel would be killed so he could be tested. The parents chose to kill him. (Rebel tested negative.)
