I know we’re only a few months in, but I think we can call it already: 2012 is the year of the animal attack story. Esquire and GQ kicked things off in February with a pair of (totally different, equally incredible) articles on the Zanesville zoo massacre, then the Atlantic followed a few days later with a piece about how cat feces mess with our brains: Perhaps predictably, it’s one of the most read stories in the history of the theatlantic.com.
