Just wondered if anyone from the UK saw this programme last night? I missed the first 30 minutes (bloody olympics) and my on demand service isn't working at the minute so I can't access it. From what I saw it paints a terrifying picture of what happens when someone with mental health issues loses the plot and decides "to hell with the consequences!" On a far worse note, the sherriffs department seemed to enjoy (maybe not quite the right word) shooting the animals. One officers interview was even conducted in front of a hunting trophy, quite weird given the subject of the show! I can understand why they were left open to criticism given the way they handled the crisis but I can also see why they chose that course of action. Owing to Zoo chat I was already aware of the case but my girlfriend was absolutely horrified by the actions of the owner and police, I too was a bit put off by it and I knew what was coming! I look forward to hearing your opinions on this and hopefully someone will be able to fill me in on what I missed.
was this about that private zoo owner in America who let all his animals out, which then had to be shot by the police?
That's the guy! It was covered on here and I was quite shocked to find no-one else had mentioned the documentary. I don't know if overseas viewers will be able to view it though?
Yes, too true. I missed my amphibious "duck tour" because I was stuck in traffic caused by a Red Sox game.
