Putting families at great risk.
Jan 16, 2019 12:35:50 #
I saw a video of families at a zoo. There were dangerous animals in this zoo that could easily tear children and their parents into little pieces. The only thing separating the families from this horrible danger was a wall of heavy steel mesh. If those parents only knew: "that walls don’t work".

What would going to the zoo be without a little inherent danger?

I think there are enough stupid people who take their kids to the zoo to more than accommodate death and destruction even with the walls. Imagine, if you will, a mother holding an infant out toward an elephant over a divide and the elephant reaching out toward the infant with its trunk. Fortunately the elephant was unable to reach the child. But what if the parent had dropped the little one who might have squirmed out of grasp. So stupid are some parents.

Agreed, I'll bet we both remember a famous celebrity who held a baby out over a balcony.

The walls are there to prevent people from hurting the animals.

We all know that isn’t true. But very soon now the Liberals here will be circling the wagons and swearing what you lied about is true. That is just how things are done in Liberal La La Land.

The OP just handed you a steaming pile of poop, and you guys line up to defend it.
Explains your support of Trump.

... or in the case of popular "canned hunting" operations, in the US and elsewhere, the walls give the sportsmen the old "fish in a barrel" advantage.

Walls don't always work:
Heart warming true story, Must read !
In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from University of Washington.
On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.
The elephant turned to face the man and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned and walked away. Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.
Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.
Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter could not help wondering if this was the same elephant. Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs and slammed him against the railing, k*****g him instantly.
Probably wasn't the same elephant.
This is for everyone who emails me those heart-warming BS stories.

The OP wasn't even original. That was first posted (not on UHH) by Donald Jr. who retracted it when called on it. Here on UHH Steve King would be applauded, not censured.

You'll love Pop Aye! It's a low key road movie with a lot going on.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3740066/
"On a chance encounter, a disenchanted architect bumps into his long-lost elephant on the streets of Bangkok. Excited, he takes his elephant on a journey across Thailand, in search of the farm where they grew up together."

Ha. You made that up. But I loved it.
If only Peter had carried a 38 Super pistol he coulda, woulda, shoulda fired it in self defense at the elephant.
Of course it couldn’t possibly have saved his life. But he would have felt happier as his body struck the railing.
Have a great evening,

Of course, very light indeed. I was being facetious. I haven’t hunted elephant but I have k**led Cape buffalo and other African animals. Some take a pretty large cartridge.
