There should be an inquiry as to why it took a full 10 minutes for a staff member to turn up with a gun.

There should be BREAK THE GLASS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY units in front of every dangerous animals cage.

Herb that is a completely stupid suggestion/statement.

Why?

Loaded weapons, in a public place, sitting behind a sheet of glass?

It's a completely crazy idea.

I was talking about a button behind the glass panel.

Ah.

No need for glass then.

Ohhhhhhh.

I beg your pardon then. You weren't clear.

Handy source of free weapons!

Also imaging Herb let loose with a rifle would probably shoot himself.

"No no no Mr Herb you hold it the other way around'

LOL Grin

At this zoo it took an entire 10 minutes for staff to arrive.

10 minutes from the time the kid entered the enclosure, or 10 minutes from the time they were notified?

10 minutes from the time the gorilla was playing with the kid.

And whatever happened to CCTV cameras?

Hmmmm ... ?

Gonads, Mothra? Like to answer that one?

No CCTV cameras to watch that the visitors to the zoo weren't teasing the animals or behaving in an anti-social way?

Hmmmmmmmm ... ?

I'll tell you what the problem is. These are zoos that are run on a tight budget in order to maximise profits, and as such they deliberately forgo paying for the 'extras' just like the designers of the Titanic did.

If you can't be a good example, you have to be a horrible warning.

LOUDER!!

I want to hear you say that LOUDER for posterity to gawk at!

Aquascoot, I'm slowly taming this skittish filly with sugar in one hand and chilli-pepper in the other. Still a ways to go, but I'm already polishing up the saddle ready to ride her when she has totally capitulated to my Alpha-male vibes ... Stand by for updates.

its acrophobia herb...a fear of height......or a vertigo attack...

I look at that animal and it is so sad he had to die.. Cry

sue the bloody parents for letting their feral kid loose in a public place...

The zoo - and ALL other concrete-type zoos should be banned and those poor bloody animals released into a fenced-off countryside somewhere.

I remember during my last visit to Taronga Park zoo in Sydney - standing in front of the concrete cell where this enormous gorilla was sitting there disconsolately contemplating the cruel and unforgivable circumstance he was confined to for the rest of his life.

His eyes met mine and I felt an enormous surge of embarrassment and shame that I was personally party to this inhumane abuse.

I know... in the wild they will die out thanks to poachers and the fact that man encroaches on their land.....dont forget when renewable energy catches up with their habitat and it gets taken over by concrete windmills.....do you really think these beautiful creature will survive???

It's not renewable energy threatening ecosystems Cods.

It's deforestationn. Something greenie's are against.

how and where do you think they will find the land in gorilla country..[read jungles] to plant their windmills.. mothra?>.

I can see it working if they dont knock down trees.. Roll Eyes

just sayin

you know herb this is only the second time I have ever heard of a child falling into a gorilla den......

the fact is they had to shoot and kill the animal....a cruel fate for sure but under the circumstances I am sure they only did what they saw as no choice... they were there ,,,,, remember?..

I think you are really thinking this happens every week...

The initial footage I saw only showed him standing over the kid which didn't seem so bad Sad but had to be done as we all agree!

They had to shoot this poor victim of human stupidity for sure.

"With a little common sense and adherence to regulation, most zoos are safe. Indeed, they play host to millions of visitors every year, many of them children. But it would be hubris to think it perfectly secure to imprison hundreds of carnivores, serpents, and ten ton megafauna in cages without incident. Below are ten reasons why lions, tigers, and bears might just belong in the wild. I have made a conscious decision to try to spread the events out between different species, but this list constitutes only a sliver of the multiple horror stories that unfold every year throughout the world".
