Sick 9 Day Old Lion Cub dumped by NY Post reporter publicity stunt
http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/126802p-113442c.html

The 9-day-old lion cub dumped in Ohio after a New York Post stunt went bad was struggling to survive yesterday as a pride of animal experts sank its claws into the paper.

Suffering from dehydration and possible pneumonia, little Boomerang was breathing a bit easier as he cuddled in a blanket at the animal sanctuary where Post reporter Al Guart abandoned him Saturday.

"They're lucky he hasn't died," said Ellen Whitehouse, director of the Noah's Lost Ark near Cleveland. "He did nothing but pull a publicity stunt."

The ASPCA, the Bronx Zoo and the veterinarian treating Boomerang all lined up to slam the Post for its plan to expose the trade in exotic animals by buying a newborn lion over the Internet for $1,000.

2. That's my charitable donation for this pay
from my "great big" Bush tax cut. May have to add a few bucks. Seems like all the conservative news outlets are Big Fat Idiots!

3. The NY ComPost should pay the bill
the ComPost brought on this situation, they should take the hit and pay all expenses.
