I will follow no links relate to starlings. Evil, evil creatures. They contaminate the whole post. All I hear from their mention forward is their vacant harpy shrieks. I wouldn't be surprised if starlings had something to do with the poor tiger's demise.
The tiger photo was originally accompanied by the following caption:
"A nurse checks the pulse of a Siberian tiger as it undergoes cataract operation in Chicago hospital. Sun Times picture by Jerry Tomaselli was picked by UPI as among the best of 1974."
According to the inscription on the back of the photo, the image ran in the December 31, 1974, Chicago Sun-Times.
