Just about every animal attack at a zoo or park that I’ve heard of is the result of prolonged mistreatment of the animal. They go crazy in captivity until they rampage. But everything is just speculation at this point I suppose.

I once saw an angry pony at the petting zoo make biting attacks on a goat so I pulled a gate shut to separate myself from them while a bunch of woman and children intervened.

Especially in petting zoos, where they are poked and prodded by children who know no better, and by childish adults who should know better. If I was in a confined area being constantly patted and poked by some other species I'd go berserk a lot faster than this camel did.

Over the years, I’ve come to dislike zoos for that reason.
