Victim’s son
files lawsuit
over mauling
HOUSTON (AP) — The son of a
Houston zoo keeper mauled to
death by a tiger last month Filed a $6
million lawsuit Thursday alleging
the city ignored safety problems that
led to the death.
“The city in this case was grossly
negligent,” said Fred Hofheinz, at
torney for Jack Tovar. “The city
owes this man some money, and
we’re going to get it.”
Tovar, 35, of San Antonio, is the
only child of Ricardo Tovar, 58, who
was killed May 12 at the Houston
Zoo as he was performing his morn
ing duties caring for the tigers. A Si
berian tiger broke through a glass
security window, dragged the zoo
keeper into the exhibit and mauled
him, crushing his chest and breakig
his neck.
Named as defendants were the
city, Mayor Kathy Whitmire, Parks
Department Director Donald Olson
and Houston Zoo Director John
Werler, as well as CRS Sirrine Inc.,
the Firm that designed the large cat
exhibit and W.J. Hessert Construc
tion Co. Inc., which built it.
Tovar’s lawsuit claims the city and
other parties were “grossly neg
ligent” in his father’s death in several
respects.
• After zoo employees arrived at
the scene, they refused to shoot the
tiger even when the animal attacked
the zoo keeper again as he lay in the
exhibit.
• The window the tiger broke
was made of thin glass that was not
standard in most zoos, where spe
cially strengthened glass or plastic
commonly are used.
• Tovar was required to work
alone around dangerous animals be
cause of staff shortages.
• City officials, specifically Whit
mire, Olson and Werler, supported
cost-cutting measures at the zoo
even though the cuts were known to
be imprudent and resulted in unsafe
conditions.

Inhaled correction
kills Round Rock teen
ROUND ROCK (AP) — A teen
ager has died as a result of inhaling
typewriter correction fluid, a dan
gerous practice that is growing in
popularity as a way to get a “cheap
high,” authorities said.
Austin police officer Robert Mar
tinez said he has confiscated correc
tion fluid from about 30 youths so
far this year. He seized most of the
fluid after confronting gangs of
youths late at night.
In Round Rock, Armando Vala
dez, 17, died early Wednesday, Jus
tice of the Peace Jennifer Mattingly
said. The death was ruled accidental.
Assistant Police Chief Raymond
Kuhlman said Valadez had been in
haling typewriter correction fluid
“for quite a lengthy time.”
Travis County Medical Examiner
Robert Bayardo, who performed the
autopsy, said the cause of death was
intoxication from volatile »
stances. The fluid causes brain.:
piratory and cardiac damage
Officers found numerous i
correction fluid containers near:
victim's l>ody, Kuhlman said.

UT students
suffer attacks
by squirrels
AUSTIN (AP) — Students at
tending summer session at the
University of Texas in Austin
have more than grades to worry
about.
An increase in the squirrel pop
ulation on the 40-acre campus
has become cause for concern, of
ficials said Wednesday.
Authorities believe the extra
squirrel activity may be due to the
mating season.
UT Health Center spokesman
Valerie Cox said an average of
two squirrel attacks a week are be
ing reported. But she said some
attacks have happened while stu
dents were feeding the animals,
and the critters bit the human
hands.

Editor’s note: An A.P. Beutel
Health Center spokesmen says
there have been no reports of
squirrel bites or attacks at Texas
A&M in the past month. The
spokesman also said the squirrels
probably were just doing what
comes naturally
nuts.
This article just proves
that Texas A&M offers a bein'
opportunity than UT for all lin
ing creatures to obtain a
education — our squirrels Jia't
learned not to bite the handth#
