jdobbin Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/stor...ub=TopStoriesV2 The Calgary Zoo says two 27-year-old men snuck onto zoo grounds Monday morning and climbed over the public safety fence surrounding a tiger exhibit, where one man suffered serious arm injuries.Zoo officials held a news conference on Monday to discuss the details of the bizarre incident which happened at about 1:00 a.m. local time. This is an experiment that has been tried a few times and seems to have produced the same results. However, since we can't be sure with such a small sample, I expect it will have to happen a few times to be conclusive. Quote
jdobbin Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Posted October 5, 2009 In other news, gorillas in the Calgary Zoo are threatening others with knives. The suspicion is that guards are being paid off in this seeming escalation at the Calgary Zoo. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/stor...me=&no_ads= Pictures snapped by onlookers show the gorilla, Barika, clutching the knife in her black, hairy hand and briefly holding it up near another animal.

But I would be interested in the results as well !! Quote

There seems to be a supply of male volunteers but women seem reticent to volunteer. Perhaps they are just not as good at climbing fences as their male counterparts. Quote

Quite true, I recall as a kid me and my pals jumped the fence while my kid sister was on the other side crying cause she could not. Quote

Exactly, I'm sure they would want to test the theory that tigers are cuddly but haven't been able to get over the fence. Quote

There is a very good biological reason why women steer clear of dangerous animals, Dobbins. -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)

Better than primates pitching turds. We had two Siberians on display at the local zoo, and the designers were smart enough to use 25mm thick Lexan barriers in the exhibit to prevent "golden showers" from a big cat.

Wild Bill Posted October 7, 2009 Report Posted October 7, 2009 Isn't that the reason animals steer clear of Women? Don't know, but it's obviously the reason that during that time human males steer clear of women!

Think they should be charged with feeding the animals as well, don't you? Quote

Oleg Bach Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 I remember hippish girls who were convinced their cats and dogs were vegetarians. It's all cute untill the family mutt snatches up the new born infant human and eats it. Look inside a tigers mouth or a dogs - thoses those jaws and teeth are not desinged to munch on apples..they are made for gripping and ripping flesh. Why is it that some human beings are so dellusional about creatures that they can not see what they are? We have a new generation coming up that was raised on Disney films where dogs and other animals talked - hence the formation of PETA. Quote

Well, maybe not all of them. A well-liked, friendly 14 year old chimpanzee literally went apes*** this past Monday in Stamford, Connecticut. Read below: Police: Pet chimpanzee, Travis, attacks woman in StamfordBY Edgar Sandoval, Bill Hutchinson and Helen Kennedy DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERS Updated Tuesday, February 17th 2009, 5:34 AM A teenage ape raised like a human went berserk in Connecticut Monday, badly mauling a friend of his owner before cops shot and killed him. Sandy Herold tried to stop the rampage by stabbing her beloved pet chimp, Travis, with a butcher knife, cops said. "In an effort to stop him, she had to go after her pet of many years," said Stamford, Conn., police Capt. Rich Conklin. But Travis, a normally docile 200-pound chimp that starred in a TV commercial for Old Navy cargo shorts and enjoyed human activities like drinking wine and surfing the Internet, could not be stopped. When cops drove up around 4 p.m., the burly ape tore off a cruiser's side mirror and opened the door. The officers had "nowhere to retreat," Conklin said, and shot him several times. Bleeding from stab wounds and gunshots, 15-year-old Travis staggered down the driveway and into Herold's house, where he collapsed and died in a zoolike cage the size of a room. ******************* The celebrity monkey was a media darling, however. A 2003 feature story in the Stamford Advocate reported he liked to surf the Internet and watched TV with a remote, preferring baseball games if he could find them. He watered plants, fed hay to the Herolds' horses, ate at the table with his owners and drank wine from a stemmed glass. Travis was known to the town cops because they worked with the Herolds' towing company, Desire Me Towing. He would ride in the trucks, waving. ********************* Conklin said Travis pounced on the victim, 55-year-old Charla Nash, as soon as she got out of her car to try to help Herold get the ape back in his cage.
