Why Would Someone Set Gift Shop at San Diego Zoo on Fire?
Anti-Panda sentiment? A loathing of pencils and rulers bedecked with animals? Triggered by T-Shirts targeted at tourists? The motive for a suspect to set a gift shop at the San Diego Zoo ablaze has yet to be determined, but police say the cause was indeed arson.
The Panda Gift Shop, which is located near the giant panda enclosure at the world-famous SoCal zoo, was set ablaze intentionally early this morning, reports CBS2, and was destroyed.
No one, human or animal, was harmed, and no other buildings were damaged. The investigation is ongoing.
