Update on the incident with former Cologne Zoo employee, Mr. Peterman.

If folks recall, I eluded to a incident(type Cologne Zoo in the search bar on the left) at the Cologne Zoo, involving Curator Mr. Peterman, (photo above, the day before the incident), and Zoo Director Gunther Nogge, Chairman of EAZA 1997-2000, in which Mr. Peterman went postal and almost killed Director Nogge, and tragically had to be dispatched permanently. I just found out, that contrary to what the animal rights folks my want you to believe, it had nothing to do with PTS syndrome, getting beaten with an elephant hook, or his captive life. It appears that the catalyist for the incident was much simplier then that nonsense, and it was apparently nothing more then Mr. Peterman's inability to conform to a changing world, and not "authority issues" as I had thought initially. It seems that on the day of the incident, the Cologne Zoo had just adopted a "no smoking" policy in the employee's break room, and Mr. Peterman was just expressing his disagreement with the policy with Director Nogge.
