Weekend Outing at Cincinnati's Zoo Turned Tragic When a 4-Year-Old Boy Was Hospitalized After Falling into a Gorilla Enclosure
A holiday weekend outing at Cincinnati's zoo turned doubly tragic Saturday when a 4-year-old boy was hospitalized after falling into a gorilla enclosure - and zoo workers had to kill the rare gorilla to protect the boy.
Cincinnati police and emergency crews responded to a report of a child falling into the exhibit at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden at about 4 p.m. Saturday. Police confirmed the child was taken to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center near the zoo, and was treated for serious injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening.
Cincinnati Zoo President Thane Maynard said the boy crawled through a barrier and fell an estimated 10 to 12 feet into the moat surrounding the habitat. He said the boy was not seriously injured by the fall.
The Cincinnati Fire Department reported in a press release that first responders "witnessed a gorilla who was violently dragging and throwing the child."
Maynard said the zoo's 17-year-old male western lowland gorilla, Harambe, grabbed the boy and dragged him around. Two female gorillas were also in the enclosure.
The boy was with the 400-pound animal for about 10 minutes before the zoo's Dangerous Animal Response Team deemed the situation "life-threatening," Maynard said.
"The choice was made to put down, or shoot, Harambe, so he's gone," Maynard said. "We've never had a situation like this at the Cincinnati Zoo where a dangerous animal needed to be dispatched in an emergency situation."
The fire department release said the boy was in between the gorilla's legs at the time of the shot.
Maynard said the Dangerous Animal Response Team followed procedures, which they practice in drills. He said in the 38-year history of the zoo's gorilla exhibit that they've never had anyone get into the enclosure.
After the gorilla was shot, zoo employees unlocked the gate and two firefighters quickly retrieved the child, according to the fire department.
"It's a sad day all the way around," Maynard said. "They made a tough choice. They made the right choice because they saved that little boy's life. It could have been very bad."
Brittany Nicely of Dayton was visiting the zoo with her two children and four other children on Saturday. They were at Gorilla World when the incident took place.
"Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the little boy in the bushes past the little fence area. I tried to grab for him. I started yelling at him to come back," Nicely said.
"Everybody started screaming and going crazy," she said. "It happened so fast."
Nicely said the gorilla rushed toward the boy and led him by the arm through the water in the enclosure. She said initially the gorilla seemed protective and only alarmed by all the screaming.
The area was then evacuated by zoo staff. Nicely stood with her group outside the exhibit.
"About four or five minutes later we heard the gunshot," she said. "We were pretty distraught. All the kids were crying."
Nicely said she spent the whole trip home explaining why they are told to stay close and not run at the zoo.
"That could have been them," she said. "Something like that could have happened. It's a very traumatizing experience for anybody involved. The kids, the zookeepers, the other gorillas that now don't have him there any more."
News of the incident triggered huge social media response. A video posted by the Enquirer had been viewed about 71,000 times at 9:30 p.m. Saturday.
Many commenters criticized the parents of the boy for not watching him more closely. A Facebook group called Justice for Harambe was created and gathered more than 100 "likes" in less than two hours.
"This page was created to raise awareness of Harambe's murder on 5/28/16," the page states. "We wish to see charges brought against those responsible!"
Lt. Steve Saunders, the spokesman for the Cincinnati Police Department, said no charges were being pursued against the child's parents.
The decision to shoot Harambe instead of tranquilizing was made in the interest of the boy's safety, Maynard said.
"In an agitated situation, it may take quite a while for the tranquilizer to take effect," he explained, "At the instant he would be hit, he would have a dramatic response. You don't hit him and he falls over."
Maynard also explained that while Harambe didn't attack the child, the animal's size and strength posed a great danger.
"All sort of things could have happened in a situation like that. He certainly was at risk," Maynard said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and little boy.”
He said that zoo officials have not yet spoken with the family of the child who fell into the habitat. Zoo officials will be reviewing the security of the enclosure and their procedures, but said they have no plans to stop the gorilla program.
Harambe was born at the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, Texas before he was moved to Cincinnati in September 2014. Another gorilla, Gladys, named for her home zoo, also come to Cincinnati from Brownville.
Western lowland gorillas are one of the four gorilla subspecies. According to the World Wildlife Foundation, populations of the critically endangered animal are hard to estimate due to the dense, remote rainforests where they make their home, but experts say between 175,000 to 225,000 could live in mostly in Congo, but also in Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon.
In 2009, the International Species Information System counted 158 male western lowland gorillas and 183 females in captivity in the United States.
"Harambe was good guy. He was a youngest who started to grow up. There were hopes to breed him," Maynard said. "It will be a loss to the gene pool of lowland gorillas."
The zoo is open Sunday, but Gorilla World will remain closed until further notice.

Truth About Pet Food
The latest Pet Food privilege announced by the FDA is regarding
prescription cat and dog food. All pet food consumers and veterinarians should
take note of this recent FDA Compliance Policy.
For decades the FDA has strictly enforced their idea that
drugs are the only cure or treatment for illness – refusing to allow any food
to make health or wellness claims. A claim such as ‘An apple a day keeps the
doctor away’ is forbidden.
But in the FDA’s infinite collusion with Big Industry, the
agency allows pet food the same privilege of a drug (to claim it can cure or
treat disease) without any of the requirements of a drug. Pet food is allowed
to claim it can cure or treat disease without having to prove the effectiveness
or even the safety of the pet food.
Kidney Function Canine Formula Dry/Kibble. This dog food,
sold through a veterinarian, is allowed to make the claim of treating kidney
disease in dogs.
Ingredients (bold added for emphasis): “Whole grain corn,
brewers rice, dried egg product, animal fat preserved with mixed-tocopherols
(form of Vitamin E), sugar, dried whey, sodium caseinate, animal digest,
calcium carbonate, vegetable oil, potassium chloride, L-Lysine
monohydrochloride, fish oil, salt, potassium citrate, choline chloride, zinc
sulfate, ferrous sulfate, Vitamin E supplement, niacin, manganese sulfate,
Vitamin A supplement, calcium pantothenate, thiamine mononitrate, copper
sulfate, riboflavin supplement, Vitamin B-12 supplement, pyridoxine

Pet Owners Deserve Family Leave, Too
Bringing my adopted cat, Jameson, home with me in 2014 was
one of the happiest days of my life.
Having to go back to work two days later was one of the
worst.
While the rest of the country is hung up on the necessity
of maternity leave — or even the newly coined “meternity” — one group continues
to be overlooked when it comes to paid time off from work: new pet owners.
“Paw-ternity” leave is already a reality in the UK — the US
pet-insurance provider Petplan found that nearly 5 percent of new pet owners in
the UK were offered time off to care for their four-legged kids. (Not
surprisingly, the UK is also light-years ahead of the US when it comes to
maternity leave, offering up to 39 weeks of paid leave for new mothers.)
It’s time for the US to hop aboard the “paw-ternity” train.
It’s not just because I want to stay home and cuddle on the couch with my new
feline (which I do). When I adopted Jameson, he was 6 years old and had spent
the previous year of his life in an animal shelter. He was suffering from
several health problems after being neglected by his previous owner — and was
skittish, nervous and uncertain about why he was suddenly being transported to
a strange new home.

A Horse Clipper Has Become a UK Sensation Because of Her Serious Horse Clipping Skills
Melody Hames, 27, began clipping her own pet pony at the
age of 12, and is now an absolute pro at it.
She had to trim her pony frequently because it suffered
from a condition called cushings,
causing it to have a thick woolly coat which doesn't change in the warmer
season.
As she became more experience she decided to set up her own
clipping company in Lancashire, JMC Equestrian.
She set up shop in 2013 and business has been booming ever
since.
She used to do normal clippings, but has expanded her
horizons after getting quirky requests from clients.
The clipper is now inundated with requests for fancy horse
trimmings before shows.
Explaining how she decides patterns, she said: 'Often I
will visualize it in my head and clarify it with a quick look at related
objects which in turn can create new ideas and viewpoints.
"I sketched out different shapes for castles and also
for the armour clip as I knew I wanted a specific kind of style castle and
sword.
"This helps me visualize in my head and I run with it
from there.
"I use a wide range of blades and clippers, I have blades
and clippers to suit pretty much every situation, and ever breed as well as
coat type.
"No stencils have been used to date or CGIs here - all
hand crafted, it's very much like a craft to me that only comes with experience
and practice."
Her designs, some which she draws freehand, take from 30
minutes to eight or nine hours to do.
She is most proud of her castle design, which she did over
a few days.
She continued: "I would work for as long as it took
though, over the space of days, to suit the horse.
"The castle is important to me as it kick started the
larger scale custom clipping and gave me something to really work at. It got me
a lot of attention.
"This season my favorite has been the Armour De
L'Amore clip as it's on my personal horse Romeo and I have worked over time to
build him up.
"Now he stands unaltered with complete trust while I
work which has been a challenge as he's was a very nervous character and still
is but he trusts me and it's a great feeling."
She trims complex medieval designs into the animals for her
clients, and the horses she works on always look fabulous!

Prince George’s County, Maryland - Prince George's County Animal Shelter: We Could Sure Use More Washable Stuffed Animals for Our Four-Legged Friends Here
We could sure use more washable stuffed animals (not
beany-baby type) for our four-legged friends here. Gather them up from your
grown kids' room and donate them. The animals here cuddle and love them, or
they tear them up and we clean up after them. It's a chance we love to take.
We also need your
empty toilet paper and paper towel rolls. . . just place an extra bag under
your bathroom cabinet and save them for us instead of throwing or recycling
them. We have a great idea for their use!
Oh, and one more thing . . . plain yogurt -- any brand!
Thank you to our generous community for helping out whenever you can.

Inky the Octopus Slipped Through a Gap at the Top of His Enclosure: Escapes Down Pipe to Ocean
By the time the staff at New Zealand’s National Aquarium
noticed that he was missing, telltale suction cup prints were the main clue to
an easily-solved mystery.
Inky had said see ya to his tank-mate, slipped through a
gap left by maintenance workers at the top of his enclosure and, as evidenced
by the tracks, made his way across the floor to a six-inch-wide drain. He
squeezed his football-sized body in — octopuses are very malleable, aquarium
manager Rob Yarrall told the New Zealand website Stuff — and made a break for
the Pacific.
“He managed to make his way to one of the drain holes that
go back to the ocean. And off he went,” Yarrall told Radio New Zealand. “And he
didn’t even leave us a message.”
The cephalopod version of “Shawshank Redemption” took place
three months ago, but it only became public Tuesday. Inky, who already had some
local renown in the coastal city of Napier, quickly became a global celebrity
cheered on by strangers.
Inky had resided at the aquarium since 2014, when he was
taken in after being caught in a crayfish pot, his body scarred and his arms
injured. The octopus’s name was chosen from nominations submitted to a contest
run by the Napier City Council.
Kerry Hewitt, the aquarium’s curator of exhibits, said at
the time that Inky was “getting used to being at the aquarium” but added that
staff would “have to keep Inky amused or he will get bored.”
Guess that happened.
This isn’t the first time a captive octopus decided to take
matters into its own hands — er, tentacles. In 2009, after a two-spotted
octopus at the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium in California took apart a water
recycling valve, directed a tube to shoot water out of the tank for 10 hours
and caused a massive flood, Scientific American asked octopus expert Jennifer
Mather about the animals’ intelligence and previous such hijinks at aquariums.
“They are very strong, and it is practically impossible to
keep an octopus in a tank unless you are very lucky. … Octopuses simply take
things apart,” Mather said. “I recall reading about someone who had built a
robot submarine to putter around in a large aquarium tank. The octopus got a
hold of it and took it apart piece by piece. There’s a famous story from the
Brighton Aquarium in England 100 years ago that an octopus there got out of its
tank at night when no one was watching, went to the tank next door and ate one
of the lumpfish and went back to his own tank and was sitting there the next
morning.”
Yarrall said the aquarium has no plans to replace Inky, but
it does intend to better secure the tank where now just one octopus remains.
“They are always exploring and they are great escape
artists,” Yarrall said, according to Hawke’s Bay Today. “We’ll be watching the
other one.”

Meet Kora, the 120 Pound Great Dane that Had to Be Rescued from 20 Feet Up in a Tree
When the Plattsmouth Fire Department got a call Saturday
night that a 120-pound Great Dane was stuck 20-feet up in a tree, the
department didn't believe it.
"We kind of looked at each other ... they can't be
serious," said Jon Hardy, a lieutenant with the department.
The department was covering calls for Louisville, Neb.,
that night because the area's emergency teams were attending a recognition
dinner. Members of Elmwood Volunteer Fire and Rescue and Cass County Sheriff’s
Office also responded to the call.
And, sure enough, a big dog up a tree is what they found.
No one saw how Kora, the Great Dane who is a quarter
Mastiff, got up the tree, but there's suspicion she was chasing a raccoon.
After her owner got home from dinner, she couldn't find the dog. Sounds of
whimpering led her to a tree in her backyard, where she spotted her stranded
pup. A friend of the owner climbed the tree to comfort the dog until the fire
and rescue teams arrived.
First, the 15 responders tried to help Kora down the same
way she got up with the assistance of a chest harness and a ladder. Kora wasn't
having it.
Next, someone attached a leash to the harness. Then,
rescuers stretched out a tarp as a safety net. They nudged the dog off of the
branch.
"She never hit the ground," Hardy said. "It
worked like we hoped."
The dog ran into her house like nothing happened, he said.
It's a rescue he will never forget.
"I’ve been doing this 12 years and this is first dog
we got out of a tree," Hardy said.

Today is National Pet Day: What Plans Do You Have for Your Pet(s)?
Pet Day is a chance for those of us who own pets to show
them how much we love them. Now, we all can think of the traditional things: a
new toy, some tasty treats, or a long walk in the park, maybe a game of fetch,
assuming you have a dog! But, think outside the box and come up with some ideas
to celebrate your relationship with your pet. Once you have indulged your own
animals with their favorite treats, why not consider donating to a shelter or other
animal welfare organization?
There are so many neglected and unwanted animals waiting
for some love and attention. You can donate your time, or you can donate food
or other supplies. Every little bit helps. If you don’t already own a pet, what
better time to adopt one? A good phrase to keep in mind is “adopt, don’t shop.”

Granddaughter Shares Photos of Her 90-year-old Grandfather and His Brand New Fluffy Friend, Penny on Twitter: Brings Users to Tears
Three weeks after viral photos of 'sad pawpaw' being
'neglected' by his grandkids broke the web's heart, a different senior is
getting the exact opposite reaction out of internet users.
Twitter user Jessica Amante shared photos of her
90-year-old grandfather and his brand new fluffy friend, Penny, on March 6,
Mashable reported Sunday. Her mom also posted images on Facebook.
And over the past month the pics showing the adorable
couple have gone viral, literally bringing tears to the eyes of web users
around the world.
Amante's grandfather is in an assisted living facility, and
had pictures of his new dog sent to her at the start of the month.
“My grandfather just got a new dog and had his caregiver
take pictures of him to send to me,” she Tweeted, along with three crying
emojis.
And those thoughts were echoed by the thousands - 81,374 at
last count - of web users who 'liked' the Tweet and the 40,771 who shared it.
Twitter user @phunkfina was one of many who responded
positively to the idyllic scenes of the grandfather walking his new pal,
writing “Why is this one of the most heartwarming things ever?”
But a large number of the users were even more moved than
that, with several saying that they had been moved to tears.
'OMG,' gasped @lgbtleeds, saying that the grandpa bore an
uncanny resemblance to 'the cute little old guy' from the Pixar movie 'Up.' “I'm
crying this is too cute,” she wrote.
And @jewishuncle wrote “That's so adorable I'm gonna get
emotional.”
“It makes me so happy I'm teary,” echoed @explicitstiles.
But some fans of the sweet story went even further.
Those crying emojis in Amante's original post proved
prophetic for @nAAAYEomi, @kissingjohnson and @valerieamazing.
They were among the users so touched by the story that they
couldn't even put it into words.
Instead, they simply send selfies showing their tearful
faces, with long lines of mascara running down each cheek.
Pawpaw and paw-paw-paw-paw: Images of the 90-year-old man
and his new dog, Penny, went viral after they were posted on Twitter this month
by his granddaughter, Jessica Amante.
New dog, old tricks: The sweet photos brought tears to the
eyes of many Twitter users. He has been likened to 'saw Pawpaw,' the elderly
man whose grandkids 'abandoned' him after he made them burgers this month.
Sweet Tweet: The crying emojis in Jessica's Tweet were
prophetic, as many who saw the adorable pictures were moved to tears.
