πŸ† Panther

A zookeeper at the Beekse Bergen safari park has died following an attack by a panther. The fatality has set the domestic zoo industry into a state of shock; it is the kind of event that makes a profession usually defined by conservation and education feel suddenly, and briefly, perilous. Minister Sophie Hermans is facing a motion of disapproval from the SGP over abortion policy, a move that has attracted enough right-wing support to cause friction within the coalition. At the same time, an advisory committee has accused the cabinet of being inconsistent and failing to speak the language of international law while seeking support against US sanctions on the International Criminal Court. A cold case may find a resolution through a commercial database. Patrick Leukel is attempting to identify his father’s killer using a new DNA method, bypassing traditional forensic routes for the same ancestry tools used by hobbyists.
