Ed Hansen, chief executive of the American Association of Zoo Keepers, said he could not recall a zoo facing similar incidents with such frequency.Hansen, who described the Dallas Zoo’s reputation as “excellent” within the industry, said accredited zoos have double-perimeter fencing and that a zoo as large as Dallas’ would have a security patrol.
Animals have escaped enclosures from the Dallas Zoo before. Most notably, a 340-pound gorilla named Jabari in 2004 and went on a 40-minute rampage that injured three people before police shot and killed the animal.Copyright 2023 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
