http://www.startribune.com/local/12850306.html Associated Press MANITOWOC, Wis. - Two cougars freed from the Lincoln Park Zoo by vandals were captured Thursday without injuring anyone, police said. Vandals cut some chain-link fencing overnight to free the two animals, Lt. Kevin Rocklewitz said. Officers and the zoo's vet found one cougar still in the park, tranquilized it and returned it to the zoo. It was not immediately clear where the second cougar was found. Mayor Kevin Crawford said he doesn't know whether the vandals were influenced

by the Tuesday incident at the San Francisco Zoo in which a tiger escaped from its enclosure, killed one person and critically injured two others. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~
