Bobcat Found!

I've been keeping up on the story of Ollie, the bobcat who escaped from a Washington, DC zoo. Apparently, Ollie has been found...still on zoo property after the zoo officials had given up their search for him. While I'm glad Ollie was found safe and sound, I was disappointed that the zoo folks just gave up searching for her after a few days. What's up with that? Doesn't a wild bobcat deserve more than a search of a few days? Apparently not. Maybe there are funding issues that prevented the zoo from launching a longer search. And, speaking of missing animals, what's going on with the red panda, Sunny, who escaped from a Virginia zoo? Will her search be suspended also? (I read that it's still on.) If animals escape from the zoo, shouldn't the staff members work to find them for the sake of the animals and for the safety of the public? As cute as Ollie and Sunny may be, they're still wild animals who, I'm sure, would injure a person in self-defense if scared.
