This incident differs from Harambe. Harambe was dragging the kid around and smashing him into rocks. Watch the video.

They do have great barriers, in fact some have 2 sets, but people climb over one and hold their kids on top of the 2nd to "see better."

At the nearest zoo to me, stuff like the gorilla enclosure is viewed through glass on the other side of a moat from a room with a roof.

You can functionally eliminate these risks, it's just more expensive then the standard 'concrete pit with a microenvironment in it'.

I think we need to not have public viewing enclosures. Zoos are the fucking worst.

Purpose of zoos is to show people that these are real living creatures. When their habitats are being threatened people might think twice.

Zoo programs are essential for the protection and breeding of critically endangered species.

Public viewing is still dangerous. Never know what kind of animal will walk up to you on the street.......I think I misunderstood.
