To worry about lions and other dangerous animals escaping at the zoo?

[climbingquickly]

Around the lion enclosures there is an narrow raised walkway that gives you a better view as the top of enclosure is open. You enter walkway via metal gates, it's divided into several sections, each with a set of gates. On each gate is a sign: 'If animal in walkway area, do not enter and alert a member of staff' with a sort of stop-sign featuring a lion on the walkway!! AIBU to think this isn't very safe and means lions could jump out?

Also the rhinoceros kept charging at the fence as if to escape (only a shallow ditch in front of fence)...

Anyone else get nervous at these places?

Tornado season in the US is a popular story on British TV news geekymommy because it is dramatic, outside our experience - we get a week of snow when everyone grumbles about how they manage to cope in Minnesota or bits of Canada - and it coincides with the silly season where everyone in politics goes away on holiday so nothing much happens.

Plus nearly everyone has a camera phone.

So it's a perfect storm.

Yes, mrsfrumble it was from 2013. I cried at her blessing her itty-bitty dog's heart. And I couldn't believe the devastation. It was like matchsticks.
