Separate names with a comma.
That's true. Friendships form though. I guess the only way to avoid that is to not really chat to anyone. Given the prevalence of social aspect of...
Times have certainly changed. I think the difference between now and then was all it was trash talking. It stayed within the bounds of KaW....
Again, yes the zoo obviously tried to make the choice they thought was best. I've said that all along (do you read anyone's posts? :roll:). But...
Did I say not to consider the worst? No. That would be stupid. I said you are only acknowledging the worst possible situation without bothering...
I didn't say the child wasn't hurt. I said he wasn't severely hurt. Which he wasn't. No one ever said children weren't fragile. And I don't...
Experts also have differing opinions. Some said Harambe was curious of the kid and was investigating him. And not sure what I said to Purple that...
Did you consider the fact it was dragging the child away from the screaming humans? And why did it sit and hold his hand? Nah, course not. Just...
We'll never have full control. But I believe if we have the power to help save them, we should do everything we can. Maybe we can't 'fix it' but...
I understand perfectly, thanks. I was only providing the other side of the argument. Which you didn't seem to consider. Mine were could be...
Agreed. All zoos should be looking at their enclosures and asking themselves if it is sufficient to keep everyone out. What has happened has...
I agree with almost everything you sad except this bit here. This effects anyone who steps foot in a zoo. I think anyone who goes to one expects...
:lol: I'm curious as to what options they considered or if they tried to lure the gorilla away? Couldn't find any info on it. I guess they...
Naturally any parent would want to take any steps necessary to keep their child safe. And that's why they're not the ones who make decisions about...
You're positive, are you? Guys we got an animal and behavioral expert here. Let's listen to this bloke. Please, none of us here are experts....
I agree the mother should have been watching her child. But I also think the zoo had a role to play and they failed to meet up to it. A mere...
Exactly. A zoo has to consider children doing something stupid and wanting to get closer to the animals. If a child doesn't say they wanna go pet...
It's called being realistic. If it's a big enough fence no one should be able to climb over. That's the point. Bar of course they manage to...
If a child managed to get in it obviously was not adequate. If it was, there would be no way for the child to get in. It's not all the zoos...
So because it's never happened at this particular zoo, it doesn't matter? This has actually happened before in 1996. How can a zoo NOT...
He is a three year old boy. His brain wouldn't be developed enough to be able to rationalise and recognise jumping into a gorilla enclosure is...
