No its the fault of the fault if the ZOO Bojack, we know you CANNOT keep your eye on your kids every second- 4 year olds run amok all the time- or dont you have kids?

a 3 year old agnes......BUT YOU EXPECT THE ZOO TO KEEP AN EYE ON THEM A

what do you suggest.. electric fencing... Roll Eyes

my friends lived on a very high sloping block their side gate was huge...the house was on 3 levels.. yet their tot of a daughter managed to climb over it.....

some kids just can climb......maybe the zoo should b an all kids under a certain age.. or have them all restrained.. like you do..

when oh when are parents going to be held accountable....a 3 year old cannot be trusted....I dont care what they put up to stop it doing what they do.. I even had a friend whos son at 2 let the hand brake off in the family car and it rolled across the road into someone elses driveway..... no damage only to friends heart........they do the most unexpected things..

dont expect someone else to do your minding for you..

Cods, you just described exactly why the Zoo (which allows toddlers in) has a very hight duty of care.

it did as far as I am concerned.. a 1 meter high wall...the kid got over it...you dont know neither do I or anyone else here we have never been to this ZOO...

I have not seen the fence or wall what ever it was this child managed to get through........

so what we all say is pure speculation.....

I am saying THE PARENTS HAVE MORE FREAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR CHILD THAN ANY ZOO...

and agnes and lisa say its all the zoos fault..

fair enough????????...

I dont care how you twist my words..

I am asking just what more can a place of amusement do????... thats all..

the zoo does have duty of care and if theiur care was not good enough I am sure they will pay...

but so do the freaking parents..

I caught a toddler just about to crawl onto the up going escalator...... I grabbed her and held her for what seemed like a long time.. I recall looking round and no one b ut a Bank was near by and suddenly this guy comes out and grabs her.. doesnt even thank me....

I was in a bit of shock to be honest because I just walked away I should have gone after him as she was on ly crawling......

I just dont know what more some folks want other to do thats all..

of course you can see a big fat pay out on this.. so I understand where you are coming from.....

but that doesnt bring back a life and that animal is dead.. because of a lazy bloody parent.

I metre high cods- Shocked

it is even worse than I thought- the Gorilla, if it had a mind could just step over and go for a walk to the pub for a beer- the zoo is at fault and it has a duty of care to the animals and public to make enclosures totally safe places with no room for error- accidents do happen, bad parenting does happen- it has to ensure it keeps the public safe- the death of the Gorilla is the fault of the zoo, who didn't ensure duty of care to it's animals. What if both animal and child had lost its life? Could easily have happened. Cannot blame the parents for this one.

The child was abandoned in bear country by his parents.

I can't begin to imagine how terrified he must have been.

The parents should be up for the high jump.

I just hope he's found alive.

He's probably throwing stones at the bears now .... let's hope so ... Cool

It's not looking good though, is it Herbie .

That's a matter of perspective ...

It's about time we had another 'Jungle Boy' feral child story who's discovered years later after disappearing into the forests.

Authorities will be alerted to this having happened if reports start coming in that bears in that part of the forest have been seen throwing stones at passing vehicles. Tongue

Correct.

Unfortunately the maximum penalty that the law allows for punishing the zoo administration is only a lousy $13 (or is it $30?) thousand dollars.

But if those dysfunctional Negroes play their cards right they could milk this story for millions making 'Guest' appearances on 'Oprah', the Ellen DeGeneres Show, the Jerry Springer Show, the Dr Phil Show, the David Duke Show ... and others .. Cool

exactly what they did in this cirumstance...they did the right thing under the circumstances.. but the incident was the fault of the ZOO.

Bingo!

I agree 100%.

The zoo has a duty of care towards all who either work or visit its premises.

No doubt a Root Cause Analysis/Incident investigation report is currently being conducted by Zoo Mgt.

Good luck though.

I can't see them winning any litigation resulting from this incident.

That's where it's at folks.

And the parents WILL sue.

Why?

There's a lot of money involved.

Nobody's been asking that question.

Everyone knows that would have confused the target for the shooter.

Cool

well yes.... in hindsight.. Roll Eyes

the father or person who claims he would have jumped in... would probably have broken a leg....if not both.... Roll Eyes

the fact that child is only 3 probably stopped him being killed by the fall alone..
