I work there. People are always teasing them, throwing rocks and things. Jabari learned quite early to throw them right back. I guess he had had enough of it.

That's terrible. People are so rude and disrespectful. At our zoo here in Jacksonville, there are signs every where that read, Don't throw food to the apes because we can transfer disease, etc.....people still throw food and ice.

Hope business will be ok and you won't lose your job.

That is despicable. The Zoo shouldn't allow people to torment its animals like that.

There's a nice little Zoo out in So California.. the Santa Barbara Zoo. Their gorilla exhibit is enclosed with strong plexiglass, viewable only from a downstairs room - so people can respectfully view the beasts without disturbing them. There is also plenty of private areas for the gorillas to retire to when they tire of being viewed by the zoo patrons.

A relative told me last night that the helicopters were swarming around the grounds keeping the ape wound up after the escape.

What is 'after hours' to a zoo employee anyway?? LOL
