(84,711 posts)Can you give any evidence as to why a Public Exhibit should not be safe?
I'm way older than you and we didn't lose little kids and people to exhibits we went to in the past. This is something new. And, I attribute it to cut back in funds with less protection to cut corners to get the crowds in for the MONEY...and to allow folks like you to blame the VICTIM...and not that this is a Public Facility paid for with Tax Dollars where Parents, Grandparents and the rest of the PUBLIC to feel they are protected....just as I would want the animals on "DISPLAY" protected from the rest of us who can do them harm or cause their "natural instincts" to take over if "prey falls into their limited prison domain."
It didn't used to be this way when we had proper funding and protections in our Zoos and Exhibits.
This is something new.
