Safety In Zoos; Safety When Using A Phone


Safety rules need to be strengthened. Diana Hanson who died in California in 2013 is not the first person to be killed in a zoo or wildlife park. Nor is it the first incident in which an animal got out of a cage or enclosure. Even if it was the first incident, that's one too many. It's a warning signal to prevent more events like this.
Any suggestions? Here are mine:
1 Double doors, so if an animal unlocks one, there is a second.
Yes, it could trap you, with the animal, delay your escape, so you need an alarm.
2 She was inside the main cage to clean the cage. Cleaners should not be inside cages. Do cage cleaning mechanically with inbuilt showers, like in one star motels. The cleaner just operates the shower and dryer remotely.
3 She was talking on the mobile phone. Yes, she needs a mobile phone to call for help. But mobile phones need a Do not Endanger Recipient message. Asking callers to leave a voice message or call later. This could be activated when you are driving, climbing, working with wild animals or doing any job preventing you from receiving calls safely.
