A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

Imagine the state of the underwear on anyone standing there when it happened.
Actually it could just be strain and nothing to do with aggresion of animals.
I saw it happen on the gorilla cage in Milwaukee right after the new exhibit opened. Dennis Younger
Wow! What caused them to do this?
Bud,
What cause's a horse to all of a sudden kick out at something? As you know animals aren't all "cute and cuddly", they do have a "dark side" on occasion.

Dennis,
If humans have been documented doing "super human" things, like lifting heavy objects of of someone, how much do we really know about an animals strength, should they decide to display it.
Wade
Glenn,
Yes I got the info about Dr. Jim and will be posting it soon, along with the "Australian tiger contraceptive."

I didn't mean to sound so naive. I suppose the root of my question was a little more litteral... was it people on the other side of the glass that irritated the animal into hitting the glass, or some other sort of stress? I realize that animals can be somewhat random at times, but there is almost always a reason. I was just wondering if anyone knew what it was in this case.
Bud,
On Sept. 26, I posted a story about the gorilla glass at the Atlanta Zoo being shattered when Taz whacked it. Type Atlanta Zoo in the search bar above.
What set's an animal off? Your guess is as good as theirs, Bud. Not knowing truly what an animal thinks, all we as lowly humans can do is speculate by looking at a common denominatior.
