this pen. this man saw it unfold yesterday morning. he says two small dogs were off leash heading into the dog park when they darted into the bison pad okay with paddock with a hole in the fence. >> it's assumed coyotes have dug several holes and the dogs just squirted under there and they were small. >> they started running around where the buffalo were. so the buffalo went wild and they were running around and one of them injured itself on the side of the -- i don't know what it was, the side of this rack over here. >> reporter: and then he saw the buffalo's bloody injury. >> it would have been like right here. like right here. and it was probably the size of maybe like this. >> reporter: this is video posted on youtube from the arrival of seven young bison to golden gate park last month. people who frequent the area

say they always stuck together until one was injured. >> this one buffalo came back into its pen over here and was by itself waiting and then the zoo people showed up. >> reporter: witnesses say it was the dog's walker that called 911 after the dogs ignored her commands to exit the paddock and it took a half hour for help to arrive. >> it was very disconcerting, you know, i think we all try to be really good with our dogs and keep them on leash. it's scary. >> reporter: that dog walker was cited for failure to use a leash and animal disturbance. we are awaiting the final results of the necropsy to find how the bison died because it was treated by the san francisco zoo yesterday morning. they let it back with the herd, thought it was going to be okay. and then it died around 5:00 last night. >> anne, any word if they might change their policy? you see the hole in the first and you think maybe if they had, you know, watched it a

little more? >> reporter: yeah. of course, the monday morning quarterbacking is going to be going on for a long time, not only that factor but should the bison even be here? should they be in this small fenced-in area? i'm saying small relatively speaking. it's not tiny per se. but i know there's going to be a lot of animal rights activists say they should not be here in captivity at all. so there's going to be talk about that. but the bison have been here for decades and this is the first incident of this kind that we've seen. >> life in san francisco, thank you, anne makovec. a dozen members of "occupy oakland" were arrested this morning after protesting at frank ogawa plaza. officers moved in late wednesday night dismantling a teepee a symbol of their movement that had been put up in front of city hall. the city initially allowed the structure but under certain conditions that they say have been violated. protestors will meet later this afternoon to plan their next move. about a half hour the east

palo alto city council could put a legal hold on facebook's new headquarters. the council is considering suing the menlo park-based company over congestion and some housing issues. facebook staff is expected to triple to nearly 6,000 people in the coming years. and that man that was hiding from police on the side of telegraph hill for more than 24 hours apparently slid away in the night. around 10:00 last night, a neighbor said he saw a man, a male, sliding down the hill towards an open fence and then he just simply walked out. san francisco police responded to the area to search for him but were unable to locate the suspect. a sudden spike in crime in south san francisco has police frustrated. determined thieves are after one very specific item. gil diaz tells us about that hot commodity that car owners are having a tough time holding onto. >> reporter: that's right. good afternoon. between december 18 and the 30th, 19 catalytic converters have been stolen in south san

francisco. yeah, all of them toyotas, leaving many toyota owners having to spend thousands of dollars just to replace them. if you ever wondered what a car sounded like without its catalytic converter, it sounds like the pit in a nascar race. south san francisco police are racing against time to solve why 19 catalytic converters have been stolen in 12 days, all of them toyotas. >> that's significantly higher than i have seen before. in the past we have had them taken from time to time but never this number in that short a time. >> reporter: police theorize thieves are selling them in the black market. city toyota in daly city thinks they are scrapping them for the precious metals. >> probably they are taking it for the metal that's inside it, which is platinum. >> reporter: the toyota trucks are the hardest hit because their underside is high enough from the ground. someone can easily crawl under it. this is one of the destroyed trucks being prepared today. >> here's a cut-out one that's

missing. over here at the other side they started cutting on the front part and then i don't know they left it. >> reporter: one of the neighborhoods hit, the brentwood area. bernadette owns a toyota tacoma and couldn't believe the news. >> oh, my god! no, i -- well, well that makes sense if they are doing it for that reason. they are hard up base there's no jobs. >> reporter: police are warning toyota owners to be vigilant in president-electing their cars. >> certainly if you have an opportunity to garage your vehicle, garage your vehicle. and then do some research on the internet because there are some security features that are available. >> you can try and buy special clamps to clamp it down, but they are going to find a way around it. >> reporter: and we checked several websites for the price of platinum. you can easily get at least $1,400 for an ounce of platinum. reporting from south san francisco, gil diaz, cbs 5. president obama slashes hundreds of billions of dollars
