Stupid people at the zoo
I saw a dad encouraging his daughter to feed an Anoa, eventhough a sign said to keep clear. When the Anoa did not respond because it was tending to its hide, the dad pulled the animal by its horns. I was almost hoping the litle cow would bite the kid to teach dad a lesson.
Elsewhere, a sign on the indoor bird house asked visitors to remain quiet, since the Hornbill is breeding. The female is sealed inside a tree trunk and the male waits outside and feeds her. All the kids were screaming and the parents weren't exactly quiet either.
Another guy was taking photographs of an orang utan through the glass of its cage. It was sitting very close to the glass, looking unhappy as orang utans do. The guy stuck his little camera right in the animal's face and used flash. Repeatedly. I should have done the same to him.
Stupid people everywhere. But perhaps not as criminally stupid as this family that got two bears killed because one of the bears may or may not have bitten their 4-year old after the kid and one of its parents CLIMBED OVER THE FENCE around the bear enclosure.
