M&A: muddled and asinine

"The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. - Gordon Gekko (Wall Street) So basically it's all about greed. Generating a supply at any cost to meet the demand. Shamelessly preying on others (in this case tigers) to make a quick buck. A zoo is a business after all. Isn't the greed driven pursuit for profit what capitalism preaches? How is this any different from Enron, Tyco, Worldcom and the dozens of other greed-driven, life-ruining businesses? Good reporting. I'm just not that surprised.

On a side note, what will happen to the newly deceased tiger at the SF Zoo? Will its pelt be buried underground or sold online? see (http://edition.cnn.com/2007/US/12/25/tiger.attack/index.html). And is it right to label this kind of event as animal cruelty? Geesh, is did what it would do if it was in the wild. Interesting how actions can be interpretted.
