Finger in Wendy's chili may be linked to leopard attack

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Police in California say they're checking out a possible lead in the case involving an allegedly contaminated bowl of Wendy's chili.

San Jose police are investigating the case of a woman who lost part of her finger in a leopard attack. The woman, who has several exotic animals, reportedly got the finger back in a bag of ice, after doctors couldn’t re-attach it. She lives in a town about 45 miles north of Las Vegas.

A month after that attack, a Las Vegas woman reported biting into a human finger while eating a bowl of Wendy’s chili. Today, the woman’s lawyer confirmed that she’s decided not to sue.

That word comes a day after an animal sanctuary employee called a Wendy’s hotline to suggest the finger might be linked to the February leopard attack.

Wendy’s has maintained the finger allegedly found in the chili had not been cooked, and that it didn’t enter the supply chain as part of its ingredients.

"I have no idea how they linked this finger to the Leopard attack."

Due to Roy's tragedy Siegfried has not been able to dedicate due time to closely manage their cats. Things happen.

That narrows down the possible points of entry.

Why was the leopard in cahoots? Wasn't a bathing suit revealing enough???

How did that finger get from the bag of ice to a container of chili? That's the question.

if the worst you get in a 'leopard attack' is a missing finger, you lucked out.

If the woman who "found" the finger is a friend of the woman who lost a finger, would that make her a finger ringer?

I suspect, if the link to the leopard attack is validated, that the con-artist complaintant had some link to the hospital maintenance department and arranged to get ahold of some medical waste.

Better find out what she did to that leopard first, or you could be the main ingredient in her next bowl of chili.
