RIP HARAMBE :(

As I said up-thread, She should have put a leash on that kid, BUT, if it wasn't this kid, it would have been another. Obviously a 15 foot fence isn't enough for today's children. This kind of stuff never happened when I was growing up.

It's still not clear to me about the barrier. I've read that the boy squeezed through the barrier. I've read that he squeezed under the barrier. And, I've read that he got over the barrier.

I kinda got the impression that there was more than one barrier breached. I'd like to see a graphic or photo to get a clearer understanding.

I remember a couple of incidents of visitors getting to animals at zoos and being hurt or killed when we were growing up, but it happened rarely. I don't know if it's happening any more or less per visitor today though.

I can't remember ever hearing about anyone getting hurt or killed in a zoo when I was growing up. Maybe it has to do with where I grew up? I remember the Nam kill count every night with Walter Cronkite, but never anything about zoo maulings or killings.
