[QUOTE="Chicago Packer Fan, post: 333962, member: 3773"] [FONT=Garamond][SIZE=4]Fellow Packer fans, I wish to bring something to your attention. The Brookfield Zoo of Chicago and Dominck’s/Safeway grocery stores, apparently feel it is cute and funny to take items with Packer logos on them and throw them into a bear den to be mauled and destroyed.
