This reminds me of the case a few years back when some f#ckwit was tormenting the Tigers at the zoo and one of them managed to jump up and grab the dumb c$#t Grin

Apparently when they designed the enclosure they didn't allow for the extra distance a Tiger can jump when it is being tormented by a f#ckwit human Grin

OH no did it hurt greggory? Angry

you did say it was a f#ckwit

Just watched an interview with the Zoo spokesman. Seems the gorilla couldn't be tranquilised because it would take too long to act and he would be pissed off in the meantime.

Duty of care cuts both ways here. The zoo should ensure that no one can access the animals, however a determined adult or curious child will always find a way around this. Parents are ultimately responsible for their children.

Welcome, Belgarion! I for one have missed your excellence contributions as demonstrated at D&R.

Thanks Herbie, good to be back after so long. I will now spend time between here and D&R.

Hello, Belgarion

Look forward to hearing more from you. I made two posts on DR but they have been languishing in Brian's mod queue for over a week now.

Hi Nicole, long time no hear...no doubt Brian is checking your posts for political correctness before allowing them to go public Wink

Sorry for being so inconsiderate, as a brain dead gorilla yourself I can understand that Dianne Fosseys name would probably touch a nerve.

I can imagine that if a child suddenly fell into your cage that you would be just as confused as that gorilla too and would most likely have to be shot to resolve the situation as well.

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?

Ah.

No need for glass then.

Guess why these alarms have a glass cover?

It deters delinquents from 'having a little fun'.

Ahhh no it doesn't .... they do it on trains all the time.

My apologies for over reading your statement re: the emergency button ..

the subject prior was in regards to shooting the animal

and I went from there.

Why?

If it need it explained you are just as stupid.

How about putting a little thought into the reason why you wouldn't have a loaded rifle behind glass at every wild/dangerous animal enclosure in a public zoo?

Go on give it a try.

Nobody, including and particularly Herbert suggested that.

Pretty close to my 5m estimation.

Witnesses said they heard the boy telling his mother he wanted to enter the enclosure. The child, whose name has not been released, then slipped behind a barrier and fell about 4.5 metres into the habitat.

The mum believes in sky fairies. She should have thanked the gorilla for not hurting her son.

For those of you that have seen the news or been on social media that was my son that fell in the gorilla exhibit at the zoo. God protected my child until the authorities were able to get to him.
