Would it be legal to make everyone who enters a zoo sign a form that says the animals won't be harmed if a human falls in the enclosure?

This wouldn't mean we wouldn't try to remove them, but we would not harm the animal under any circumstances. The safety of the animals is the number one priority. Even if a lion kills a little kid who fell in its enclosure, that kids parents knew what they signed up for when they signed the form.

    No, that wouldn't be legal, nor would it be a sensible thing to do. You're placing the welfare of animals ahead of the welfare of human beings. I understand you love animals. I do too, but people must come first.

    It would be a better idea to sell leashes throughout the zoo, or even offer them for free to people with more than one kid with them. Then wait and hear reactions on that.

    Maybe you should research what a 200 pound socialized chimpanzee (not the only time a chimp has mauled a human, fyi) can do to a full grown adult, then apply your critical thinking skills to what a 400 lb gorilla could do to a toddler of 3. Then apply your critical thinking skills again as to why the gorilla was killed.

    Why does everyone care so much about one gorilla dying? He was a prisoner and now he is finally free. Animals shouldn't be kept prisoner for our amusement

    Of course not. Animals are just that.. animals. They are not as important as humans.

    They should, children are the responcibility of the parents they were birth too. That should be a perfect idea. DISCLAIMERS ARE PERFECT.
