After a 17-year-old boy was killed by a tiger at the San Francisco zoo, workers did not believe a bleeding survivor's story of the attack. They thought he was crazy.
Here's the first radio transmission about the attack by a cafe worker:
"A very agitated male is claiming he was bitten by an animal."
The Los Angeles Times reported the Christmas Day 2007 attack:
"Police were immediately dispatched to the scene, and in the chaotic situation that followed, the victims were initially regarded as mentally disturbed, the notes indicate.
"'Zoo personnel dispatch now say there are two males who the zoo [considers] 800 [police code for psychological impairment] . . . But one is in fact bleeding from the back of the head . . . at the Terrace Cafe.'"
