      What was this father or who ever he is thinking when he put this child in danger just to get a picture. He’s irresponsible and impulsive behavior put that child’s life in danger. He should be arrested. The mother of the child should never trust him with being alone with child again. If he was my husband / boyfriend, he would suffer some serious consequences after this.

Sadly, this is not the case. Forced breeding to generate offspring destined for a life in captivity is doing absolutely nothing to preserve wildlife. And, FYI, the vast majority of animals held in the stressful, zoochosis-inducing environment of zoos are not Endangered Species. They are there simply to generate profits.

      @@ChandraNYC well clearly you never heard of California Condor, Golden Lion Tamarin Scimitar Horned Oryx, Mountain Yellow Legged Frog, Przewalski’s Horse, Mountain Bongos, Black Footed Ferret then. These are all species saved by accredited zoological institutions that have also had reintroduction programs into the wild. Nature is not the pretty picture people paint it to be: animals and plants have to deal with deforestation, human encroachment, predation, sickness, hunting, and climate change. Much of the homes that endangered species used to reign in has diminished drastically over the past decades and will continue to do so if no stricter rules and regulations are enforced. It’s not an black and white issue, many things in life aren’t. Yes there are bad zoos and zoos that need to improve for the well being of their animals, that’s a fact. But accredited zoos, aquariums, Safari parks have to not only donate money to ex-Siri conservation programs but also actively be involved in in-situ conservation meaning at their facilities. All the species I named off are a just a handful saved by such accredited facilities so to paint all zoos as evil or bad, is truly arrogant. I don’t want animals to not have a proper home either and the way the world is going, things are getting worse before they are getting better unless we all do our part to make it better and fight for it. If you truly think they are bad, then animals like the California Condor and Golden Lion Tamarin would not even exist due to self righteous attitudes of those who claim zoos are all bad. No zoo is perfect but they have been changing for the better and I do think they are necessary as well.

      No, "at the very least" meaning that she could have been stomped to death, not just harmed. The elephant could have crushed both of them and showed great restraint.

    Reckless for the baby, the animal and him, in that order! His actions could have harmed or killed the child as well as the poor elephant minding its business in captivity. If it had reacted violently in any other way and had to be put down, it’s not right or fair to the threatened animal in an enclosure to be put down for acting out of fear or startled. Thank goodness all walked away unharmed and alive because of one man’s need for a better picture? Really dude?

      @Diana Moore I think the issue with using a tranquilizer is that it would have taken time for it to take effect. They wanted to get the child out as quickly as possible; safety of the child is more valuable than a Gorilla.

    • @McChicken94
      @McChicken94 3 года назад

      @Diana Moore Humans are more important than animals. Humans and animals take care of their own kind. If it came down to it I'd put down an animal to protect a child; heck I'd do it to protect you. You are right though, it is unfortunate that some animals are kept in zoo's, but there are some instances where it's necessary. Accredited zoo's normally work to release animals back into the wild and to preserve endangered species. They also tend to educate the public about the environment and animals in ways that couldn't be done through a book or documentary. It took me visiting an aquarium and seeing a giant sculpture made up of plastic bottles and trash to see how much of an impact I had on the animals I had just seen. That's when I stopped buying plastic bottles and started using a reusable bottle and switched from plastic bags to reusable ones at the grocery store.

    I work for a zoo and you'd be surprised what parents are willing to do with their children to get a photo. We've had to build really high fencing around polar bears (where a tall barrier already existed) so that parents don't climb up and hold their child over the edge. We also have to warn them all the time around the hippo pool.
