Original Toronto Star caption: Who's to blame? Arctic wolf cubs stare at an intruder in Metro zoo's wolf compound. In response to the recent mauling of two young boys by Arctic wolves at the zoo, reader, below, says the blame lies squarely with the designers and management of the zoo as solid fences should be used to keep naturally curious children from getting too close to the wolf compound.
