Man has jumped into Tiger enclosure

[PrincessHoneysuckle]

At Yorkshire wildlife park.Anyone seen the video? I live local to it and the video of the man wagging his finger at it telling it no like a toddler is shocking.Hes lucky he wasnt killed.

But that was pages and pages and pages ago. If you’re going to bother commenting you should read the entire thread and keep up otherwise what’s the point?!

That's heartbreaking. Where the hell were his carers? He sounded far too vulnerable to be left to his own devices, poor man.

Exactly.

There is absolutely no need to change it and I hope they aren't required to.

Wow so you’d rather all the animals in zoos and wildlife parks had no fresh air whatsoever.

Or we could just ensure that people only visit a zoo if they’re not a risk to the animals/themselves and/or they’re going to be cared for properly while they’re there.

It's wonder humans survived so far.

Brilliant, no one knew, thanks for letting us know

Not to mention the fact that more people wouldn't go if it was just looking at them through a window so they'd probably have to close anyway.

It's completely impossible, anyway. Wildlife parks have acres of space per enclosure for the bigger animals. They're not going to build and house them in giant boxes.

He was using Makaton signs. Anyone familiar with them can see that even if it hasn't been acknowledged publically.

The animals could still have the choice to be outside or inside as they like. I think Chessington used to manage this before it's recent changes. Maybe the way forward is something closer to a safari park where the visitors are confied to a bus and the animals can roam.

Changes are always made for safety, the airline industry does this very well.

That's not what I wrote. Having the people view them through windows doesn't mean the animals have to be inside, itjust means the people are confined.

and what happens when someone decides to get off the bus in the middle of the lion area?

Nothing can be 100% risk free. Nothing.

You have still not answered. Out of your arse? You feel that you can educate 'the ignorant'. I suggest that you have a go. I am far from ignorant., Contrarily.

Your post is irreverant and offensive.

That's not what I wrote

The doors can be locked, things can always be made safer. Not learning from this andputting extra measures in place to stop it happening again is the opposite of safeguarding and/ or risk assessing.

Someone determined enough will find a way. Doors unlock.

There's also risk assessing and deciding that no changes need to be made as it wasn't preventable such as the crocodile incident a few months ago. The crocodile enclosure didn't have to be changed at all despite a similar high viewing platform.

Sorry, I wound up replying to you rather than the post you'd quoted.

The original post in that exchange was mine, asking that we stop using phrases like “disturbed,” “moron” or “low ability people.”

If you are indeed not ignorant, I assume you already know why I said that, therefore it wasn’t really aimed at you.

Exactly. A bus is more risky and has more potential for error than a 5 metre fence! It’s not the parks that need to change,

Oh dear how tragic.

that's fair enough. Your choice x

There shouldn't be any changes to how the animals are housed. This was a lone incident and a guy who scaled a high secure fence. Why should animals countrywide be made to live in less natural surroundings, and the experience of millions of people be tempered because of the actions of one person?

We don't even have any confirmation that this person had special needs yet.

However, it's not that long ago that a man with special needs threw a child into a crocodile enclosure- clearly it's imperative that measures are put in place around the care of people with SEN in public spaces rather than changing public spaces.

The freedom and needs of the majority shouldn't be limited to accommodate the minority in my view.

Why are you still commenting this shit?
