What's new with Thabo?

Thabo apparently has been in limbo for some time in Pittsburgh, or perhaps at the Pittsburgh Zoo's huge facility a couple hours away.  There was also some apparent political difficulty with announcing the acquisition at the time of his arrival.  Anyway, here's some news from the Post-Gazette from the end of March, 2012:

In Defense of Animals doesn't like the whole Thabo business:

But I guess that's their job.
