My suggestion is cods just give Aussie the three word reply

"Fugg Orf Aussie"

Followed by

"We dont give a crap on what your opinions are"

"You are a boring dickhead!"

I have not expressed a concluded opinion. I've asked questions I thought might help cods understand that the Zoo has a duty of care, which it breached.

At times you bore us shitless Aussie with your ex lawyers opinions this is another of them sorry to say!

They sure can. A pride of lions specialised in human meat on the border with South Africa where Africans from the northern countries used to sneak across to find work in the mines.

Don't know cods. My point is that the Zoo has a duty of care to ensure this could not happen. Yet it did......res ipsa loquitur.

Exactly.

The parents should sue the tits off the people who are in charge of the zoo. It's inexcusable that a gap was there for a kid to crawl through.

Just like circuses that always seem to have a shady and shonky feel about them that smells of animal cruelty and brutality - zoos are also sad places where animals are stuck in a hellish limbo for decades with nothing but concrete around them.

I stopped visitting Sydney's Taronga Park zoo a long time ago as a protest against the appalling conditions those poor bloody animals have to suffer in their concrete pens.

It's a disgusting trade in misery.

EDIT:

The toddler is believed to have crawled through a public barrier into the Gorilla World enclosure at Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden on Saturday afternoon, and tumbled into the exhibit's moat.

Now I agree with aussie on this one.

The onus is on the zoo management to ensure that this curiosity is restrained by barriers of the sort that are fool-proof.

Sure.....but you should be able to take your toddler to a Zoo confident that the Zoo has put in place whatever is required which prevents toddler and dangerous animal coming into perilous contact......if you turn your back on the bugger for a nano second, or even longer. It ought be a very safe place for its market which includes toddlers.

This whole discussion is based on schmedia reports which include that. If the parents tossed the kid into the moat.....different story, but they did not. The kid got in there.

But there is already legislation in place that forces zoos to construct safety barriers of a very high standard in order to qualify for their business licence. Same with petrol stations. Same with Alpine ski lifts.

Precisely.

Caveat venditor. The onus is on the management to ensure the safety of their customers.

(Caveat venditor is Latin for "let the seller beware." It is a counter to caveat emptor and suggests that sellers can also be deceived in a market transaction. This forces the seller to take responsibility for the product and discourages sellers from selling products of unreasonable quality).

The fencing was of unreasonable quality - as demonstrated by the kid have no difficulty in breaching this shonky 'safety barrier'.

Heads should roll.
