I hope they track down those kids, they bear a lot of the responsibility for the damage done and the death of the animal.

I agree. I hope they have some surveillance tapes showing who did it or that someone turns them in. Then they deserve a fitting punishment, like having to shovel out the elephant pen for six months while people throw things at them.

I don't know what anyone else thinks about this subject,
and I guess this is a bleeding heart liberal position to
take. As for myself, I could do without zoos - period.
I've gone to zoos since I was 5 or 6 yrs. old and seen
animals, though probably well taken care of, in boring
& undignified situations. I saw a pair of tigers doing
obsessive, repetitious running & rolling in tandem in a
very small concrete and steel cage. I thought they had
probably been in a circus, but found out later that it was
simply their response to a terribly unnatural and boring
life. - If kids need to see animal specimens in a cage,
then have sculptors make replicas of them and put them in
those glass cases in a museum type setting. Let the wild
things be normal and wild. - My first trip was to the
Memphis zoo, where I guess I might have barely escaped
being "captured" myself by the notorious "kid snatching"
lady who kidnapped a lot of kids my age and adopted them
out (sold them). I forget her name.

Yeah, this is sick.
