Authorities fingered a spotted leopard at the San Diego Zoo yesterday in the current Wendy's chili scandal, according to a press release issued by fast food conglomerate Wendy's. Digital photos of the offending feline were distributed to a phalanx of reporters along with the press release. The carnivorous cat, a 5 year old male named Mano, was interviewed from behind bars and asked why he had done it. The cat paused and said, "I blame society," and then added, "but it was finger-licking good." Cat handlers at the zoo dismissed the leopard's excuse as mere finger-pointing, saying that Mano was "always looking for a hand out" and that he always had some spotty tale to explain his actions.
