Woman Climbs in Lion Exhibit

On Saturday, a woman climbed into the lion exhibit at the Bronx Zoo in New York. By doing this she put herself in great danger. She didn't get arrested and no one even called 911. A person who say it happen took a video and in the video you can see the woman dancing and moving her arms around as if she was mocking the lion or making fun of him. As the lion moves closer to her she doesn't seem to be affected or even scared. Everyone is still confused on how she got into the exhibit because obviously there is a fence. The zoo later explained how they have "no tolerance for tresspasers and violaters of the barriers." If you want to read more, click here.

1. If you were one of the bystanders would you have called 911?

2. Do you think this woman should have gotten pressed for charges or arrested?

  • Good story choice! Be sure to inlcude personal thoughts within your story. You also didn't reply to any comments which is worth 20 points.

  • Yes I would to hope by the time they get there they can save her or keeps her alive untill they get to the hospital

    Yes I do because its a disturbence to the piece and she could have gotten her slef hurt so she should get charged

  • I would yes call the police because the woman could be in lots of danger and the police and rescue could come maybe help her stay safe. I think she could get punished yes for what she did because that is a very stupid idea.

  • Yes, I think that she should have gotten charges pressed on her because she violated the zoo rules. I think this incident will probably make other people want to try to do this stuff and it is probably not gonna be good because people would probably get seriously injured.

  • No, I would not have called 911 because I don't think that the emergency people would be able to control the animal like a person that actually works at the zoo could. I think that the zoo workers should have more consequences because they have a not tolerance rule. 

  • Yes, I believe this women should have got charges pressed towards her at the least. She should have been arrested because they have a "no tolerance for tresspassers and violater of the barriers." This means that the ladie broke the law of the zoo which makes it so she should be arrested.

  • No, I would not of called 911 because they can't do anything because they aren't gonna want to get into a cage with a lion. So the best thing to do would be to find a zoo keeper and let them do what they need to do to lock up the lion or be able to get the ladie out safely.

  • If I were present in this situation I would probably call 911 because something really bad could have happened. I do think that the zoo should press charges against this women because she was trespassing on property that no one should be going on. 

  • I wouldn't call 911 because it's her own fault for tresspassing into the lion cage when it clearly said not to. The women should've been arrested or charges pushed on to her because she tresspassed and put her own life in danger. If the lion attacked her, it would most likely have to be put down because of attacking the lady. It isn't fair to the lion since she entered for herself for no other reason than to taunt the lion. 

  • I believe she should of gotten charged for "trespassing" or something to get a fine because she put her life in danger and could of put others or workers lifes in danger. Lion's can be very mean and will attack. If she didn't get charged she should be banned for sure and even possibly get jail time.
