    Good work with the spelling jab, really original. You'd make a great Zookeeper. Of course I hate the place. I've worked there for years and I know how it operates. I did just join today to release this fact.
    I'm not going to get into any further discussions with you as you (a member of the public) only sees what ZSL wants you to see.

    Well thus far you've not actually posted any counter argument save for your opinion in the opening post. This is the internet; you could be anyone from an actual keeper through to someone bored on a Sunday evening going to rile up a forum for some laughs.

    And since your stance is counter to the established public facts the onus is indeed on you to present a counter argument and facts to support it.

    If you don't wish to discuss anything with "mere" members of the public, you are in the wrong place here given the fact that although we do have a few zookeepers on Zoochat - all of whom are much less aggressive and much more reserved in what privileged information they post than yourself - the majority of members are enthusiasts only :p don't let the door hit you on your way out!

    Leave Aardwolf alone guys he's telling the truth, I also work there and he's telling the truth or at least some of it. On the day of the escape I was actually off that day but went in and met up with the male gorilla and popped down to Camden market for a quick coffee before beating him at a game of chess and then walking back up parkway with him to the zoo, we avoided helicopters and police snipers then I quickly got him in the back door before anyone could see.

    Listen aardwolf. I'm not saying you don't work at the zoo, but this is the internet, and on the internet, anyone can say anything, just saying. Also, if the media knows, where are the reports? Surely this is big enough news for them to cover. If this is true (I am highly doubtful it is) and if your fellow "coworkers" see this, there goes your job.

    Also, is there a reason you haven't given answers to Tauns questions? Your getting less and less credible by every post.

    What I want to know is the dividing line between "fake news" and "alternative facts"

    Now that is a very good question,I suppose it depends on which set of facts Donald Trump believes on the issue!

    There are also certain legal proceedings still involved, which is why I haven't answered certain questions and why the press can't release it yet

    And yet respect for these legal proceedings hasn't stopped you from coming here for - as you admit above - the sole purpose of posting this information.

    I feel like you're making this up as you go. Surely you would have mentioned that in your first post knowing that people would ask questions. The reason that your making a huge deal over a topic that's many months old where no animals or humans were harmed is beyond me. There is a difference between lying and exaggerating. At least this thread has brought me some good laughs :D.

    I've missed this. It's been a while since we've had one of these. Aardwolf, did you choose your username because ZSL holds 1.1 of your namesake?

    shouldn't this thread be moved to the Zoo Cafe? Maybe merged into Thylo's Nonsense Thread?
