London zoo lied about gorilla escape

Last year a male Western Lowland silverback gorilla escaped from his enclosure at London zoo. Riot police and helicopters were called.
The zoo insisted publicly that it was all a 'silly fuss about nothing' and he just got into a service passage. They even made light of him drinking black current juice while he was out.
The truth is far different. He got out of the building the gorillas are housed in and into the yard. All that was between him and the public was a bamboo fence.
To top this, keepers demonstrated a lack of training by neglecting to ensure public were secured in buildings and running towards the escaped animal past crowds of visitors.

 

I work there

 

That could be you did work there if the zoo work out who you are!

 

An interesting first post from someone who has only joined Zoochat today. Helicopters and riot police? I don't think so. And while it is of course possible that the "escape" was more serious than the zoo acknowledged at the time, I'm afraid I would want a rather more credible source to convince me of this fact.

 

....yes, of course you do. And that's why, several months on, you've taken to a zoo nerd forum to raise this "issue".

 

Funny, If this were true, I'd imagine that the highly trained staff would have done for more and the zoo would have been evacuated as best as possible!

 

Google London zoo Kumbuka. You will see it in the reports

 

How do you know staff are highly trained?

 

Well I would think they are considering they would be working with some of the most deadly animals on the planet!

 

you would like to think so wouldn't you.

 

Do you work there too? I can sense some pannick in your tone! I thought i would post this here because although to the outside world it may seem 'over' there are plenty of people working at ZSL who are still off with stress because of it.

This will all become public soon anyway

 

Why not go to the media? If your claims are true....posting on a forum for zoo fans is bizarre to say the least.

 

The media knows.

 

So why has it not been reported months after it happened?

Please excuse me if I don't hold my breath for the media to report it then.

And do you drive to work every day or fly? Glasgow is a funny location to live when you work in London....
