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.

Probably looking for any severed finger incidents in the area.

Me either. Did the leopard victim -- or maybe the leopard victim's son, perhaps? -- make the chili?

Huh? It says, right in the story: "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"

This is not what they said in the initial statements. They said the finger was fully cooked so it would not be a threat for many diseases.

They're both fingers, right? I rest my case.
