One incident in at least 28 years seems like a pretty good safety rate. It reads like the woman was doing the daftest thing possible one could imagine with a large wild animal - i.e literally using herself as bait to lure the poor confused creature away from the public area.
Are Germans no longer taught all those famous fairy tales when they're growing up?

PhilosophicsI'm considering a new essay on Parsifal, Cassandra, and The Emperor (and his new clothes) as a metaphor for institutional silence.
I've got a working thesis and an abstract. This started as a commentary on The Fisher King, but it's expanded to all three
