Zoo visitors kill Kangaroo - SameerluvAnimals - 10-24-2018 Quote:This Zoo Let Visitors Throw Bricks at Their Animals - Shut it Down Now https://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/721/080/722/?z00m=30579953&redirectID=2763154589 RE: Zoo visitors kill Kangaroo - Catherine - 10-26-2018 I heard about this. It is a terrible thing. I will look for the original story tomorrow. The zoo did leave bricks around where people could get at them. That was a mistake when they knew that people were throwing things at animals. RE: Zoo visitors kill Kangaroo - LPC - 10-27-2018 Why are bricks lying around for people to pick up? Signed. Thanks, Sameer. RE: Zoo visitors kill Kangaroo - Tobi - 10-27-2018 This is shocking and horrifying. First that people can do that!! Second, that the zoo doesn't seem to have taken any steps to STOP them doing it, and it happened a second time! Exactly, LPC....why are bricks lying around outside the Kangaroos' enclosure? Thank you for posting this Sameer. I signed. RE: Zoo visitors kill Kangaroo - Catherine - 10-27-2018 I found the article. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/20/world/asia/china-kangaroo-zoo-death.html Clearly the zoo has a problem. They need some security guards to watch people. They need to remove anything that could be thrown at the animals. They should consider fencing or screening that would protect the animals. There needs to be some education of visitors to the zoo about respecting the animals. Many zoos have volunteers. A volunteer monitoring exhibits could call for help and stop an animal from getting hurt. Maybe the zoo should sell memberships. When you are a member you feel responsible for the animals. Over the years at Toronto Zoo, I have stopped people from throwing food, I stopped teenage girls from throwing rocks at baby geese. I just stood there with my arms folded looking sternly at them and they dropped the stones right away. As a member I feel like it is my zoo and I am responsible for it. The Chinese zoo needs to do something. First I would clean up the rocks. RE: Zoo visitors kill Kangaroo - Catslave - 10-28-2018 The Chinese have a bad rep with animals they only take good care of their pandas because they're worth so much money to them. RE: Zoo visitors kill Kangaroo - Catherine - 10-28-2018 You are right. Pandas get special care because they are worth so much. We paid a million dollars a year to have Pandas here in Toronto. Other animals are not even protected from harm. It is sad. |
